It seems impossible not to trip the breaker, even when just running a fan and the air conditioner it has tripped on us in the middle of the night.

@Matt Gigli Hey man you're a little bit ahead of me at the moment, look I will be the one in your shoes once you've already got your first three properties.

for a downturn so they can put their cash to use, and they want to justify for not investing as they simultaneously feel some FOMO (like now when equities have bounced back to being scorching hot).Just take a second and pretend you are in opposite shoes, either fully vested or fully divested.

If I were in your shoes, I would stick with the responsive agent you already have a relationship with unless something goes really wrong with her. 

If I were in your shoes, I would essentially treat it like having a roommate.  

Spend the $100 and fix the loose ceiling fan and focus on the big wins.

If I were in your shoes, I wouldn't be doing business with someone like that and if he really did introduce you to the bank that you want to go with but he's pulling the wool over or whatever, you should be very blatant to the bank that you don't want to do business with him. 

Comps may or may not be hard to find for this sort of thing.People's opinions will vary on this, but personally I am a big fan of adding a deck.

Most of the "Stories" are about young people that live in a shoe box and made millions. 

I couldn’t imagine being in your shoes during 08-09.
