Hi I am just starting out trying to expand my intelligence and surround myself with people who have experience and knowledge.  I would like to start out with a multi family live in one rent out the others. I am open t...

How do investors solve the problem of tenants not paying for 2-3 months due to black swan events?

Of course, nothing is black and white, but it did create a guide for me.

I'm not sure if you've checked out any local REI events, but I highly recommend the Black Diamond events in Waltham and Worcester and the AREIA event in Chelmsford.

It's kind of an oxymoron but the crime rate is pretty high around those areas and it is low income black and hispanics.

It's usually a few guys/girls that have been successful in repeating their process , continually bump into the same people and then develop relationships with them. 

Although, I know of one company that flips about 10 houses a month and that company has one girl in the Philippines working for $3 per hour and she does get leads that turn into home purchases.EMAILS ARE THE BEST - It seems like people don't change their emails as often.

Thought you'd have applicable information.You were asked to post with the names and addresses blacked out, not taking out what you think is a non-issue as the contract can not be examined in its entirety, that makes a difference as no one would know what you pulled out.

Clean them, prep them well, then paint with a very hard product like Sherwin Williams Urethane in a gloss white or black.

In this case, there is no way out for you unless you are going to bring cash to the closing table or foreclosure, which are all not particularly attractive options.A big part of being recession proof IMO is having the humility to admit that you don't know with certainty how things could play out, and as a result learning to think in percentages of probable outcomes rather than black and white in binary outcomes to allow yourself the margin of safety and multiple exit strategies needed to withstand an unsure future.
