Currently we are in a good spot to keep saving and investing, we have no major expenses on the horizon (like a wedding or primary residence purchase) and fair amount of capital saved up.

You don't have to buy one today.....so set yourself up to accomplish this goal with a slightly different time horizon.

We are getting better at covering these losses by obtaining sufficient security deposits at the beginning of the tenancy or raising them midway if we see a trouble on the horizon.

Remember to look at a longer horizon given you will likely hold for the long term.

It must have been tough while going through the process, but whatever doesn't kill you, makes you stronger.Do you have any new projects on the horizon?

I don't see anything close to last cycle with tell tale signs that a possible bust is on the horizon.
