I loved the choices individually but gray is a depressing color and you almost need bright orange or neon green accents to perk it up if you have too much.

My wife and I have been slowly but surely acquiring some properties over the past several years. And I'll be the first to tell you we have next to no real education on the matter. We just kind of picked up the places ...

We all need to eat and pay bills today, so there is a lot to be said for cash in hand.I'm personally several years into liquidating my own SD-IRAs and moving the proceeds to High Cash Value Life Insurance. 1.

I also think you make some good points about the likelihood of the poor quality tenant eating into the profits. 

Should I just eat the rent now and start looking into investment properties and creative financing? 

I unfortunately just had to eat part of my fee and move on.

@Jonathan Greene Thanks for sharing, very helpful. 

The costs will eat you alive.Curt

But why on God's Green Earth would I want to spend $900,000 on a 16 unit, 2 building complex, when I can likely buy 16 units split between 4 buildings locally for less than $400,000?

I've cutback on eating out almost entirely and downgraded my internet to a much cheaper package.
