If the market does go down, dividends, historically, are still maintained i.e. your income stream does not take a hit.

I have properties all over the country that owners utilize as private vacation spots and whenever not there it’s not only paying for itself but is also an additional revenue stream.

My personal opinion that, even through a downturn, the cost of living in Murfreesboro is much more reasonable, when compared to Nashville, and I feel Nashville offers a variety of different businesses/companies (auto/music/healthcare/education/government/tourism) so that it is not dependent on a certain stream of income. 

Both sets of tenants are great and each have a "white collar" job so there are 4 streams of W2 income in this property. 

As an asset manager, you have to always look ahead, evaluate your current market, your property current standing, is your income growing, are you adding additional streams of income, is your expense staying steady/decreasing, are the tenants happy with the property management (always check the social media), is property management taking good care of tenants, are they having any community events.

Also check out Prop Stream which a great tool for investing.

Near Rivers or has streams on it. 

You are buying a reliable income stream, not a specific property type.

That way I have both long term and short term income streams.  

I think a lot of us, become anxious for diversification, shiny penny syndrome, multiple streams of income to the point where we are focusing on so many things that not one of them gives us the life we want.
