@ Joel Owens - good points, I am beginning to feel this was an "act of God" in more ways than one as I was pushing to close by end of Jan but the title issues slowed us down.

Additionally the time and cost will only slow down your investing plans.

The numbers work better with 3-4 tenants per roof than 1 tenant.I'm in the slow, painstaking process of gathering information on owners of duplexes, triplexes, and quadplexes in the area so I can start my direct mailing campaign to hopefully grab a few of those eventually. 

It has been terribly slow on the lender and AHA side of things.

Few days before, I noticed slow water stream from the guest bedroom bathroom faucets.

Gold doesn't pay rent ... it just sits there and looks pretty, but if you use Goldmoney they charge you a fee and you don't even get to see it look pretty :) If you want gold to pay you, you could buy shares of GLD and write deep OTM covered calls off of it to collect option premium ... in a panic, the price skyrockets, your shares get called away, and you have cash in hand to rock and roll and invest while there's blood in the streets.

I'm not saying it will crash but it will slow down a bit.

@Mike PatelOne friends had a liquor store and he made a lot of money in the beginning but profits slowed down with Specs and other big names coming in.

Maybe the market is slow, people are in a hurry to rent a place, etc.

It is too tedious and slow for them.
