Have a policy I'm happy with on Rental #1, but after an unpleasant interaction with a "sales professional" from that company for Rental #2, I'm now shopping for both the new property and the existing. 

(thanks to parents for paying for college)  I'm frugal on most things (though I eat out way too much)  The runup in seattle area RE hasn't hurt either,   though I also rode through the dot com crash about a year after buying that first house, and the first RE crash a couple years after buying that triplex;  In the former case especially luck was a factor in staying employed,  else my life could have gone in substantially different direction.I really like a comment prior about producing more than you consume and making things better.
