I find defining things specifically works well for my style, who knows if that works for everyone though but leveraging what you have at your current disposal is the fastest way to get moving now.

It's okay to smoke in your car, but heaven forbid you keep the butts in your car and dispose of it properly.

Buy high-quality liquid assets that can be disposed of in event of significant currency/bond market volatility to raise cash and avoid deflation.

Look at us, we have a population that is in poor health with every 2nd person presently or soon diabetic, wide spread poverty, a level of crime and gun violence like no other country on earth, we managed to make education FOR-profit leading to massive student debt and universities being richer than small countries, if you travel a bit you can see that our infrastructure is worse than some of the ******** countries we look down on, our health care system is F'd up beyond believe, our food is one of the unhealthiest in the world, we are consuming ressources at a level that nobody can match, we are addicted to buying cheap crap nobody needs, have a dispose everything mentality, meanwhile our population is less happy than most of our peer countries.We just got back from visiting my family in Europe and after we landed at OHare and sat in a dirty, beat up shutte bus getting us to the parking lot over a cracked concrete road, garbage on the side of the road, power lines hanging everywhere, my US born wife shook her head said: I can't believe how run down and ****** everything is here..The US is a fantastic country and I have chosen to live here for a good reason, but we really need to get our head of our you know what and start thinking about where we want to be a few decades. 

Yes that's obvious, but that doesn't address the problem of wanting to DISPOSE of a property tax deferred.

> Standard rental should have: fridge, dishwasher, stove, microwave (if built in), disposal.

Thus we should expect engineers to have disposable cash to make real estate investments. 

The partnership (or whatever term is appropriate)  would limit her say in disposing of the asset.
