I have 6 rental properties, all free & clear, yielding about 4k gross.

We are hiring an employee with a script.  

Personally, my gross (and probably net) income form the military has quadrupled from when I joined 9 years ago.

I am essentially the property Manager for my units and I hire employees to run the day to day onsite.

My purchases are at record setting lows so I think I'm recession proof as my rental income on the properties are under 2-3x gross rent income.I generally buy at prices 20% of the current median values.

At least not without some sort of major technology breakthrough with regard to CO2.I think you may see job losses slow down or stop in coal country, but even if coal output remains the same, the industry continues to innovate and needs significantly fewer employees . 

Is it of gross or net?  

Often it involves bathrooms and kitchens that are old and gross, but technically functional, complete, and just this side of being a health hazard. 

I'm a little surprised to see you say its a 30% COC when your just taking the gross rent minus the payments...maybe I missed something so if I did, please forgive me. 

A few include protection to officers, directors, managers, and employees.
