Patience and dry powder 😊

The insurance adjuster said it was mostly wear and tear plus some vandaism@Bjorn Ahlblad: What would be a good number be to use for costs per month for things like supplies, replacing missing items, soap, shampoo, paper towels, toilet paper, garbage bags, lawn care, pool care, etc, etc, etc.

Do you think your leads will dry up? 

I pulled everything I had via HELOC and all my dry powder into Tesla and now have enough to retire on the French Riviera.  

There is risk, much more than most people understand.My guess is 90% of the people have no money, so they are really trying to start, run, maintain some kind of a profitable business on a shoestring....wouldn't matter if it is real estate, dry cleaning, restaurant, snow cone stand, or whatever....doing it with no budget and no money is very very very tough. 

I'm not too keen on emptying the Colorado to the point that it's dry by the time it gets to Mexico, either.  

You have a very dry sense of humor. ;-) Keep it up.Aa they say in the "gator lending community".

If possible, reduce or eliminate water going down the drains until the drainfield dries out.

No such thing as 100% risk free...In dry areas trees too close can be a fire risk.
