What was the nature of your conversation?

I feel that with your background you may be able to shed some light on a specific forum discussion.

Not trying to be harsh but by the nature of your questions, you are about to get in way over your head.

I'd think long and hard about what I emailed, it won't get lost, the dog won't eat it, it won't go through the wash or meet any natural demise, it hangs out there forever.

I'm really close @Mike D'Arrigo - like $5k, so there is light at the end of the tunnel :)But you are right on - at least this whole time I have not lost any sleep over it because I know it won't be a question of if the house will appreciate, just when.

To be statistically 'safe' from a vacancy, natural disaster or other risk profiles, you need a whole lot more in differing geographical locations.Most people don't really need that safety because they don't often face the risks they fear and if you self-mange you can control your risks in better ways.Is 20 properties the right number for you?

Being active in the community and listening to the podcasts is a wonderful way to build your knowledge base and puts you light years ahead of other novices.
