I don't want to pay for others who didn't do things correctly and tanked their credit.

Training costs less than a hot water tank.

Something I’d definitely blogged up near/in the septic tank.

I think it's a good idea to diversify across various assets classes.You never know which ones are going to rise and which ones are gonna tank.

Research and verify city sewer/septic tank systems.

The gas tank-based water heater is from 2008.

I always look at every deal if I had to take the property back could I quickly sell it and recoup my principle + foreclosure costs, or worst case if the market tanks could I rent it and get a decent return.  

As someone that Uncle Sam paid good money to become proficient in firing everything from handguns to anti-tank weapons, I'm hardly anti-guns.
