Those who diversity are not confident with there main investment strategy.

I'd likely consolidate in one market area for the ease of management but diversity into several small / midsize properties to spread my risk a bit. 

For me, short of apocalypse, I could hold all of my properties indefinitely if I lost all income from the properties because my total number of income streams and diversity of streams can absorb the costs of the properties and my living expenses.

Also, the economy is generally wealthier and more diverse in Boston and L.A.   

California and the nation as a whole are very diverse areas of thought and lifestyle.

After that, choose a market that has a diverse economy and not too heavy in one sector or another.

Account Closed I’m pretty sure that I could study the laws more to be that nerd, but I have Invested time to read them enough and know where the resources are to answer most of my questions before hanging myself with irresponsible actions either in screenings or direct communication with tenants or prospects.All to often I read threads on here that I’m sure were well intended but perhaps a misplaced word or two and the whole thing then becomes entangled in a diversion of the topic leading into many different avenues.I don’t want this to seem negative as this diversion does create good communication and allows the community to share different perspectives that eventually enhance our businesses.

Not much diversity if I'm banking on the future performance of that company for both my investments and my paycheck.

The point of my wish when i started was to be more diverse when I started. 

I'd recommend looking at multifamily syndications that can offer you diversity across hundreds of units, market geography, asset class AND can offer large paper losses with cost segregation.
