I don't want to be first in line for layoffs.

I witnessed first hand how 2008 affected us, and the workers we had to lay off.

If the market does this, what lever will we pull (lay-off, sell of x properties, rent for cash flow at x percent off normal rates).

I’m on a temporary lay off from work and honestly I’m tired of never knowing when I’m going back and for how long.

I can see why some PMs get a Robin Hood complex: they deal with all the drama and it’s an extremely low margin business, and they look at owners as filthy rich people whether they actually are or not.

I can understand why someone sells a home - layoff, divorce, moving, etc.

I went through a couple of rounds of layoffs soon after I moved in (the little-known "personal computer bubble" of the early 1980s had popped).

Of course if you do not have any siblings and you are her only heir, then these issues would not come into play.Also to add I would be sure you have significant reserves so that you do not face foreclosure on her house due to a lay-off or another significant stressor which could prevent you from making the payments.

My girls are my why and I want to do everything I can to provide/give them the best life possible. 2019 is bringing me a layoff in corporate America, BUT, I'm coming off of a strong production year in 2018 from real estate, and I'm more excited than I've been in a while to create something great as a full time realtor and investor.

But, I do not know what the current outlook of my company may be in the coming months and want to prepare myself in case there are potential layoffs and what not.
