If I can tame my greed, and help him truly retire when he is 55 yo with mere $10K CF/Mo (no mortgage but heck the damn health insurance!)

I know a few of mine are Family, Health, and personal growth, but I am curious as to what others are thinking.

I'm considering moving out of state when I retire and am factoring in health care costs in the future. 

We not only lost our hard-earned money but on top of everything, our health suffered, I had several sleepless nights due to the stress and anxiety that this horrible experience created for my wife and me.After the buy-back was completed, I approached Maverick to at least help us with our losses by requesting us to give back ~$6000.

Most likely you have a tenant that just wants to break the lease without penalty BUT any health or safety concerns must be taken seriously and treated delicately. 

We also see the struggles you face:Disgruntled customers due to communication breakdowns and scheduling mishaps.Frustrated employees missing deadlines because of complex systems.Recurring service issues stemming from a lack of standardized procedures.Unhappy technicians dealing with unclear pay structures and disputes.The constant threat of legal and financial trouble from non-compliance.You wear many hats, and there just aren't enough hours in the day.

You will, of course want to do some homework to identify the bank that Stessa is using and ensure they are FDIC insured and in good health.

A good rule of thumb I like to tell clients is that if your activities are integral and income producing, where as if you were not to do the activitiy it would result in the property's financial health being worse off, it should count in general. 

If you want my help, simply benefit from the numerous posts I've done, which are free.I don't do mental health counseling, I'm sorry, but there are people available to address your delusions and concerns.

Ah, Michael is onto something... was it health related?
