John Stevenson I think you hit the nail on the head.

Our electrical grid is on its last legs and there could be civil unrest or a terrorist attack.

I got hit hard by one once and it wiped out the entire profit margin.

However the demand here is super high, rents are up, and typically when a multi or well priced condo hits mls it is going for more than asking.The purpose of my post is to sort of plan ahead if these areas don't yield results.

I had this happen once with an electrical panel box fire.

With some many families hit by the hard times it would be more unusual not to know someone.

You pay $582 monthly for mortgage so you will receive nearly $133 each month on positive cash flow per unit.Without this utilitie problem so its possible you have in winter to triple the expenses for electric and gas/heat.

Ned Carey pretty much hit the nail on the head.

Infrastructure: Type & condition of roads, water, sewer, electric lines.

Yes when the bubble popped we go hit hard.
