But I'd be lying to you if I told you it didn't make me nervous every time they pay late, as they are one car repair/medical expense/whatever from not paying at all.

We've also invested in other stabilized cash-flowing asset classes (medical office being the next largest asset class).

This past July one of my rentals suffered a massive fire due to careless cooking.The tenant was ill and took some medication.

This could be due to any one of a number of different reasons, including terms of the loan and medical challenges for instance.

The tenant could have also recovered money for medical bills and such.

If they want to take you to court they had better have medical proof showing that the bats actually carried rabies.

@Eric Reyes @John Underwood I actually live in Charlotte but all of my portfolio is in Columbia.I use a company called Crawl Space Medic for all of my foundation/termite issues.

I have put a significant amount of my savings into covering medical costs and bills.

Lots of travel nurses and other health professionals at Shands and other medical facilities
