I'd rather give that occasional tough answer than to see anyone, especially with kids to support or whatever, endure a major hardship due to watching too many of those "we ride around in our fancy truck and make huge $$$ flipping homes" shows, which are often I now know insidiously linked to the "spend a massive amount at our weekend seminar" type deals too.

Location: Easy International Airport to fly in and fly out of with less than a 4 hour flight, grab a taxi and a 20 minute ride takes you to your asset.

LOL Finally let your friends and family know that you are offering this "finders fee", that way they can be on the look out for  something while they are riding around to and from work, the grocery store, church, etc.

Sell your car and ride a bike?)

It's a wild ride!

So if you will be in position to ride out a period of 1-2 years where the economy and jobs decline, there may be less tenants to choose from, it may be more challenging to fill in the units etc, then you're probably in the clear.

So when does the ride end, as far as a possible bubble/recession, etc?

I've lived through the Cuban missle crisis, the assassination of John Kennedy, the assassination of Robert Kennedy, the assassination of Martin Luther KIng, the Cold War, the "Jump the Shark" of Fonzi, the gas lines of the early 1970's, the Watergate crisis, the end of Gilligan's Island, hyper inflation, Jimmy Carter's "Malaise", race riots, hurricanes, earth quakes, 9/11, 2000 crash, 2008 crash, good grief, I can't go on, too many to mention.Yep, the economy survived, I'm still here, the world moved on ( except for walkmans now selling for $32,000) and nowhere was I promised a free ride or an easy life.As they say in "Men in Black" "Kay: "There's always an Arquillian Battle Cruiser, or a Corillian Death Ray, or an intergalactic plague that is about to wipe out all life on this miserable little planet, and the only way these people can get on with their happy lives is that they do not know about it!"

The Tyvek coveralls don't ride up in the crotch too much.

We’ve had increasingly worse hail storms and wildfires that have created a real problem with insurance: rates have gone way up and in some areas like the mountains where the fires are and the towns hardest hit by the hails storms it’s difficult to find insurance at all.
