Whereas, if you are holding $1,000 cash flowing property and the markets shift, you likely still have a cash flowing property that can sustain itself, and even help supplement another property that isn't in as great of an equity position. 

@Dallas Morioka what specific help are you looking for? 

Any advice helps. 

I feel like my "circle of people" really needs an expansion and improvement and I want someone with more experience in the field I want to be in to really help me gain myself to success!

This is a reposting of a previous postI value Matt Scott's commitment to help me in with my success.

Having the tenant be responsible for something like the first $1000 of each maintenance issue, or $500 can be a big help.

I'm trying to be specific and helpful for the question posed by OP, for his particular situation.

Hope that helps, and feel free to reach out if you want to dive into this more!

As you can guess, I’ve been in this space for a long time, coaching and investing, and I would be happy to help if there’s anything I can do to support you, just let me know!

Thanks for any help you can provide!
