CA is probably nice enough weather to live with the elements if needed. 

Keep some in reserves so you can "weather the storm."2) find a partner.

Probably what it boils down to is supply and demand and then to unpack that jobs, schools, amenities, weather, incomes, land limitations, future migration, path of progress, transportation, crime, demo growth etc.

She has terrible asthma and that has me under the weather.

But it's clear that if you're in the business long enough it's going to happen and I need to be ready.Would you mind sharing other strategies that are well-suited to weathering a correction?

If you live in a "MOBILE" or "MANUFACTURED HOME" make sure your home has a California Housing & Community Development Department (HCD) approved "Earthquake Resistant Bracing System" (ERBS) under it.

I have been renting a house all winter for $800 per month as the vacation rental market here is geared towards summer weather.

Despite being relatively new to rentals, I feel I’ve weathered the storm and I’m ready for more.
