I have a buddy who closed 242 units while deployed.I have an emerging markets list shoot me an email if you want a copy.Locate and attend 3 different local REIA club meetings great place to meet people gather resources and info.

Went to the magistrate today with two emergency requests: 1) court doesn't have jurisdiction to deal with anything other than the eviction, 2) I am a good faith purchaser for value in any event.

The company is emerging into more than I ever expected when I signed on, and the fluidity, and "open forum" feel of the company makes it a place I look forward to growing with, and being a part of.

Communication only via email unless it’s an emergency.

Have a list of people you can call before an actually happens emergency. 

Build up your emergency fund of 3-6 months of expenses after that.

You have to make sure rent will be at least as much (preferably more) than rent, taxes, emergency fix-it fund, and association fees, etc.

Similar analogy is emerging market equities- you can have a 18% gain for 2 years but that 30% drop yr 3 reduces your ave return to 2%/yr. 

As the issue of housing affordability becomes increasingly pressing, co-living models such as PadSplit are emerging as an effective response.

I made that stat up, so don't bother Googling it, but I'd says it's fair since we know over half of American's can't handle a $400 emergency.
