That said like @Bruce Lynn I will occasionally look more deeply at a particular property. i can't even give you a reason why.

I attend occasionally and there is a solid group of investors that participate regularly.

Our accounting team has improved over the last 6 months at catching these but it is not a perfect system yet and occasionally a warranty item comes up, which we have to verify with the contractor or Martel team.

I've been burned before but have never made any serious personal mistakes in RE (aside from occasionally working with bad consultants). 96% of my problems have been caused by other parties.

that's fantastic- I've always thought the prices in Cville were almost too bloated to work with.Are you investing from out of state?

I work for a billionaire property investor and occasionally we talk shop, and that makes it difficult to not want to take large but potentially risky chances!

Dog parks, Reddit, Facebook, Cigar lounges, breweries, instagram, youtube, and the occasional real estate meet up

I am not really doing anything for the $150 beyond occasionally driving by (which is on my way to places I would already be going, but I get to log mileage expense.)As @Mark S. tried to explain to you, cash flow is only one aspect of a real estate investment. 

The triplex is very easy to manage with the current 2 super long term tenants (18 &13 yrs), with only the occasional plumbing issue or appliance replacement. 

@Patrick Desjardins  OOPS   but I still get the occasional commercial note sent my way.. bigger deal usually 500 to 5 mil.. 500k we can do 5 million is over my pay grade
