When the gas company discovered that they came with jack hammers and a back hoe excavated the paved public street and severed the gas line. 

@Natalie Kolodij I think you are sought of on the right path but may be thinking too much at this point, I don't disagree on having multiple options, but here is how I would lay it down: (also I am not a big savy investor like other BP members, please don't hammer me on what I have to say :-) ) 1.

Then when the market crashed many equity investors as we know got hammered ( I was one of them) So then the Marketing companies repositioned the message and came up with a few new tag  lines:" appreciation is only icing on the cake its all about cash flow don't care if the asset ever goes up in value"" Live were you want but invest were it makes sense"and so on.. so you have the last 10 years of investors primed for cash flow and primed to buy were the numbers are highest vis a vi a passive rental return..

@Michael Valerio   the issues Mike are as @J Scott alluded to.. from my perspective and its the exact same thing that happened to my client.. your rehab bid was off by a ton... your resale number was way high.. it induced someone to buy then they get hammered.. pump and dump is really what it is.. and newbies are prefect fodder.. you got me once.. but never again.

Out to eat at restaurants we barely like, getting hammered at bars we don't remember, and buying a big house that we use 30% of).Frugality gives us the ability to save 40%!

Here’s a link to an excellent, if rather long and somewhat technical, discussion of that case: https://www.forbes.com/sites/jayadkisson/2018/03/05/alaska-supreme-court-hammers-last-nail-in-dapt-coffin-for-use-in-non-dapt-states-in-toni-1-trust/#337a197e62a7.

In projects that require a whole bunch of jack hammering and noise, we normally give the neighbors a gift card or a bottle of wine to thank them for putting up with the noise.

We also had to rent a demolition hammer for $85 to remove the tile.Next on the agenda is tree trimming, removal of 3 trees, stump grinding, and some rough landscaping work.

It's like taking a hammer to your big toe.I had multiple rentals in Seattle.

As far as finding deals, keep hammering the brokers.
