People don't usually put up a "Beware of Dog" sign for no reason...they either think there's a potential for a bite - thinking that posting a sign will ease their liability in case of a bite, or animal control has mandated they must have the sign up (usually more than 1 though - here in Wilmington, you must have 4 in plain view) in the case of an animal being deemed potentially dangerous....also they told you outright they are planning on breaking your lease by half a year....may want to get the ball rolling on these folks.  

I'm not investing, retired, but if I were, I would keep my powder dry for now.The other danger is relying on 2 high paying W2 jobs.

Comming out of school we think we now know everything, but in reality, we know just enough to be really dangerous.

That would increase the cash available for the all-cash investment and eliminate, I think, any danger of mortgage boot. 

That is going to push the 'danger zone' of hurricane damage further inland and leave beachfront even more vulnerable.  

@Chris Birdsall It's dangerous to invest into improvements when you don't own the property.

Google Dangerous or threating dogs.

My neighbor at a house I recently sold wanted me to cut down a tree that he felt was a danger to his property, conveniently after I called the cops on him for repeatedly parking in my driveway and refusing to move his vehicles... 

If we are in danger of not having enough cash to cover our expenses, then we as owners add more of our own funds to the business and increase our equity, or obtain a loan to cover the need.We currently receive our rents through regular post, mailed to our local USPS office (P.O.Box).

When someone blows so much smoke and is so quick to get nasty & personal instead of addressing the substance of the discussion.....well, such tawdry behavior reflects poorly on that person's judgment & credibility.
