I have a tenant in a condo, and she is irresponsible with her watering of plants on the balcony, which may be affecting the balcony structurally (the board seems to think so, which may be the only relevant reality), and is definitely annoying the downstairs owner due to runoff.

It's just a reality.  

The reality here in Texas is that here JP Court judges are elected officials that are not bound by precedent. 

Be prepared for the higher numbers, it's just the likely reality at the moment.

There are some police departments that have a trained person who deals with the mentally ill but the reality is, if there is a weapon drawn,  the police will shoot.

I dont want to be mean here, but you need to get a grip on reality.

The reality is that most people over time likely invest with multiple teams to have access to more markets, inventory, business models, etc. to allow you to become a well educated & experienced investor. 

But if I buy as smart as possible given market realities, I'll grow more wealth over the next few years, even in event of a market correction.
