Trees and plants can also be dangerous underground.

The downside is these areas don’t have large economic engines and aren’t as resilient as Los Angeles.I talked to a landlord and agent who has 15+ properties in the area and he said it can be tough to find good tenants here.

It is my new absolute favorite and much easier to work with compared to laminate.Btw- the stuff is very resilient :)

A few of the major employers (Monsanto, Boeing, Express Scripts and a few manufacturing plants) are planning for expansion in 2017, which will also help bolster the local economy.

Also, add up several flowering plants to give the open space a green look.

So on the ten year minimum investment, where do you plant your flag?

Annual Maintenance Exposure = $700Because we spend so much time making sure we are buying in the right areas, we implement uniform construction through all of our properties (same sinks, faucets, lights, paints, floors etc) we save huge $$$$$$'s in the long run and the products we try to install are resilient products designed to withstand multiple turns without loosing the appeal. 

If the trench is for catchment only, and not diversion of water, it will need to be massive, and may look more like a pond when full... but if you plant it right (native wetland plants) you should be able to handle huge amounts of water.

That being said, I'm starting to look in other metro areas such as Plant City for lower entry points and strong demand.

Also your customer base should be more resilient to a downturn —and assuming your $24k is FCF, that plus any reserves should be a decent buffer in a downside case.It feels you have a solid deal, too solid to walk away from.
