It’s actually a good thing to flush out this excessive leverage.

.- Ensure you always have excess capacity to add a material amount of property to your portfolio if we enter a market environment where prices fall.Utilizing these principles, every market condition is an opportunity.

I'm sure that Clayton hunts for food and brings it back to Natalie to eat...It's also ironic that media people are criticizing children's excessive use of online media.

If you "believe in Capitalism and the Free market..... not an artificially manipulated market", I'd imagine that you would have already given up on the excessively compromised "free market" of Seattle a long time ago. 

In order to take advantage of solar on your roof is to make sure it generates enough energy where you wont have to pay the utility company excess usage that is not covered by your solar panels.

To me, this is a universal argument, at what point does a action move into excess and in return start negatively impacting the whole.     

@Gevin GlinesThe problem is that what relatively inexperienced investors perceive as “great deals” are not great deals; in fact they’re usually not even “good” deals.More experienced investors often find “decent” investments, which require a lot of capital and a lot of risk to bring to fruition, and mistake those for “great” deals.I have invested in and or financed personally in excess of 500 “deals” or properties in the last 40 years.

Seems like the Parents have solved their [3] problems:[1] Parked their excess cash in an appreciating asset in a good neighborhood that will keep up with inflation--(and given you the problem).[2,3] Removed the problem family member from their residence--and kept him from homelessness.I've seen this play out a couple of times.

Either because of lack of caring, poverty mentality, lack of child supervision, anger at landlord, or excessive number of people in an apartment, the amount of damage done to the apartments by tenants was almost unbelievable.

I would definitely keep the tenant as long as she pays on time, runs a quiet family and takes care of any damages.Almost every tenant I ever had does some significant damage e.g. broken doors, excessive holes in walls, damage stoves, refrigerators, counter tops, window screens and the list goes on and on.
