Waiting to purchase an investment prop might be wise depending on the length of this shut down (can’t control) and your personal situation (can control).

The average citizen is powerless and will never get anything ,and the people they have elected to represent them wont help them,cant help them.3>Healthcare is already out of control expensive and is absolutely unaffordable, many many are going to be bankrupt just with medical bills due.4>Many are going to be bankrupt because of failing business , loss of job, etc., this is obvious.5>As mentioned above , just a few are getting tons of cash - which means they can buy out business and other companies at very low cost and this means further super consolidation of power - literally cementing it in place. 6>The future for the average citizen is not looking good. 

Or not so locally.I am ready to learn how to use REI to make a better life for my family and ultimately be in control of my financial freedom.Looking forward to meeting everyone.Thank you,Jelani

The only person I see getting angry and unable to control their emotions is you. 

Then they watch about 30% of it disappear in a matter of weeks to something they feel was out of their control.

When it comes down to it you only have so much control in how your tenants live their everyday lives.

Being able to brand myself and build a team in the future, great training, culture, and ability to have control of growing my business is big for me.I would love any feedback from someone who has worked with any of these brokerages and/or does luxury homes. 

And since it was a refi and not an initial purchase, definitely these amounts are not being expensed or amortized anywhere on my taxes.pest control or cleaning supplies?

You are actually the one in control. 

Any measures to control something before it gets out of hand is best.
