He will, of course, let me know the condition of each unit.We would never have suspected anything was wrong at this particular unit after several years of good tenancy, but you have no idea what can suddenly change, and then it's too late to charge the tenant for the damage.

So far, at least here, it looks like the "soft landing" most economists dream of, rather than the sudden crash that terrifies people.

“The city can’t tow it because it’s not on public property....” what if it was suddenly on public property?

Even if you were to buy at the peak of the market and suddenly housing prices dipped 20%, if you had planned to buy long-term, then short-term fluctuations should not concern you.

Are there exceptions due to sudden, unforeseen occurrences?

Update, tenant accused me of knowing about alleged bed bugs because I asked where they are so I can come see for myself...They moved in from a hotel a day ago, and all of a sudden this?

I proceeded to explain to them how I have successfully acquired and am now maintaining cash flowing rental properties and all of a sudden their tune changed.

I'm guessing it needs probably needs a new roof, new HVAC, plumbing, structure work, windows -- standard things when buying that cheap IMO b/c it hasn't been touched in decades I'm sure.... minimum  $20K to make it a decent rental, so if you got it for $10K, I'd say you need a loan for at least +3K or more after rehab  = $33K-35K, all the sudden that $10K doesn't look so cheap.   

It suddenly occurred to me that people I hand them out to, might not always remember who the heck I am or why they have my business card (used to happen to me all the time before I started writing a quick note on the back).I want to start prefilling the back of some of my cards, so as to help the receiver remember why they have my card.

You are in the middle of yet another crazy day, and you suddenly see you have a networking event in one hour.
