I thought it was a great deal until @Serge S.told me I should step up my game (and I totally agree with him after listing to the points he laid out).Fast-forward to today - the CPA business is operating and growing at a healthy level and I'm hoping to expand into another service offering post-tax season that has plenty of potential.

We live in a desirable area south of Nashville and property values have been on a healthy rise.

Planning on a buy and hold strategy for SFR and once we acquire our first property...the hope would be to grow at a healthy pace.  

Fear is healthy.  

I have a tenant complained that her space - which is under a tall oak tree - is receiving a healthy amount of bird poop. 

When I get a little closer to retirement, or when NOI including mortgage payment is really healthy, then I'll get a PM :)  

It provides some diversity to our portfolio (different area, sizes, and demographic) and it is more of a cash focused investment than an equity play like my bay area and seattle properties (which are cash flow healthy but not overflowing).The area is going through a renaissance right now.

I don't think he ever followed through with his threat, but man how I would have LOVED to have been on a fly on the wall at the Labor Board when this guy making his healthy salary called to complain about our "forcing him to work without pay".  

Leaving the air circulating with fans or, better yet, leaving the Air Conditioning on will help to keep pets cool and healthy.

Chances are you may be able to replace tenants with on loss of income if the rental market is healthy.
