After Sandy the town did mitigate the taxes on a flood damaged home and also utility companies removed meters although we had electric and water (no gas) but those properties were not habitable.

The tree is definitely dead and it will eventually fall (likely into my backyard, destroying the fence and possibly causing damage or harm).

The day job can also provide some fallback funds for major repairs.While we're setting stretch goals, I suppose there's no harm in going for a higher minimum cash flow!

Hopethe PM gets severly disciplined, then he won'tlikely be able to inflict harm on other's like he'sdone to us.Whenever there was a problem (washer went out, webought a new one; electrical issue, we paid anelectrician even though it was the power provider'sissue; clogged drain- paid for a plumber eventhough it was baby wipes from their grandchild).

Like a radar, I'm seeking out opportunities to put myself into harms way and share w/other what I'm doing so they may be a future investor.

To be successful it will require consistency over time and routines or habits.

Little things like that may irritate you if you are a very organized person, such as leaky cars, loud music, different work schedules and sleeping habits, ect.

If the children are in harms way, they may take additional action.If law enforcement is not effective in resolving the matter, then consult with a qualified attorney regarding next steps.

I think everyone likely approaches their financial situations different in regards to their equity, investments, loans, cash flow and lifestyle habits.

No harm, but doing so is not investing.
