I am moving most of my money into more conservative investments in the economical environment we are in. 

Obviously keeping your guests in a safe environment is critical in order to avoid these issues but accidents do happen.

His opinion is that anyone who complains about the anti-landlord environment isn't operating like a business and feels there is a right way to operate in such an environment without getting hurt.

I run the NYC Airbnb Hosts Meetup, but operate my Airbnb's in Jersey City, where regulations are more favorable.At our most recent meetup, we had an attorney speak about the regulatory environment in NYC.

I know I would NOT invest my Money into a New Investor unless they had, and used, a Team of Professionals to assist and work with them as they get started and re-invested in themselves with some knowledge to enable growth as they go down the Yellow Brick Road.A Management Company can help you learn in a safer environment and, depending on your negotiation skills, can sometimes share the burden of some expenses.Wealthy people use Professionals to protect their wealth which in turn gives them back their Time to do what they do best...find the next deal to get into.

I wanted to get out of a stale work/career environment.

How do you feel about intermixing these types into a multi unit environment.   

You should be raising rents to take advantage of your business environment.

If those are the rules, then those are the rules and I will concede...however, I would have to imagine that a good majority of people perform their renovations directly after acquisition to take advantage of the building being empty and not having to deal with construction in a live/working environment...logical, right...so because I didn't place my newly acquired building in-service prior to demolition/renovations I don't get to claim ~$340K of Partial Disposition deductions??? 

I am still wondering, in this low-interest environment, why he is "watching (his) wonderful numbers slide into more dismal territory"?
