Mostly listen while driving or exercising.

I warned him that it now had an alarm.The following afternoon, I got a call from the detective: he had walked around the property, found a potential easy point of entry - the back door - and gently pushed it.

Thats a perfect exercise, and just what I needed.

Exercise patience and discipline.This Google doc (courtesy of Garrett White) outlines some prudent strategies to consider:https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-3rYb2SpPwyWbOahzQWqWU-ayktwRXrTA7tphLr55KgHAPPY HUNTING!

That is as true today as it was 2400-some years ago, when the historian Thucydides pointed it out.Having a pretty big measure of that money-power in an unfair world and being able to exercise it if I need to has become immensely important in my life, much more important than any box with wheels that gets me from Point A to Point B.

I think BRRRR is the key here.Finally, ever since i had my daughter, i've had VERY minimal exercise.

The public, after all, will decide where to live, where to open and run businesses, and how much to pay for CA property.I happen to agree with Kelly's view that change in perceptions doesn't get "accelerated" until there is an "incident"...Just as the middle-aged man who, after surviving a life-threatening heart attack, finally begins heeding his doctor's advice to eat better and exercise more, Californians won't think twice about changing where they live unless (or until) an "incident" occurs which dramatically impacts their current way of life.

Don't try to time the market - it is a futile exercise.

They spend less than 25K every year but still live a fun lifestyle (traveling several times a year, woodworking, exercising, buying more expensive healthy food).

I'm totally new and haven't gotten my first property yet, but want to post my opinion for comments on my train of thinking, as I consider this an exercise for me to learn so take this with a grain of salt:Your cap rate is sub-6% on this dealThe "2% rule" falls at 1.15%The numbers look pretty weak.
