Good investors know how to play with fire.

I come from the Financial Independence Retire Early (FIRE) community and have already reached my financial goals.

The 4th Thursday of every month is a standing inspection for fire prevention to check all smoke detectors and CO detectors.

You cant camp out in the forest.

Things like septic pumps burning out, steam room dying, guests catching the grill on fire and leaving burn marks on the hardi siding, emergency bug treatment, above ground pool which is ridiculously hard to manage in our heat & having no time to deal with it if it starts to go, laundry & drying time for all the towels and linens, etc, etc.There are plenty of things we can and will get better at, but I'm prioritizing the stress level of my people as well as the very near disasters we've narrowly avoided, over the little bit of extra revenue we'd generate.

There are many buildings with systems reaching the end of their life - Galvanized hot water risers, leaking vent stacks, aging window systems, outdated elevator and fire safety equipment.

Were out in Manassas, great forest walks there! 

There has been had two lithium battery explosions/fire emergencies in the last 2 years.  

This is one I'm sure many investors are feeling right now, and don't know where to turn if they decide to fire their property manager.
