Now I'm at the point where on my next punch list is going to be more like "remove all vent covers, outlet covers, switch covers, and door hardware.

If cabinets are in good condition, they get a facelift: new hardware, paint, etc. 

This is a business.Gotta cut your teeth in this business, or it will cut you, and your wallet.

It's not an OS problem like people are talking about, it's a cheap hardware issue. 

Also much more liquid, as the stocks can be converted to cash in 1 day, even in a 401k.Example 3:   Owner of a small hardware store.   

All app-based, no hardware.

Read Moore's law, the loss of hardware manufacturing is still being felt (semiconductor shortages etc)The diversity of cultures, ideology, economics, climate, topography etc.is immense.

My own wallet notwithstanding, I thought a 20% retraction in RE prices would be good for the city where, as Yogi Berra might have said, people drove the prices up so high no one lives there anymore.

I did $20K in consulting and sold $20K in hardware, and he 1099 me for $40K.

Plus if you get a family in one unit that loves long showers you have no way of knowing which unit is causing the pain in your wallet!
