I know it sounds lazy but I'd rather avoid the heavy lifting of starting a mastermind group (I've done it once it is a LOT of work). 

And I also try to encourage constructive criticism *in the form of a message, not a public review* - again, I don't want to be heavy-handed about it but the language provides a hint (this works pretty well, too!).  

But as you are realizing, vacancies, repairs and particularly large capex items which are unavoidable at some point will eat that “phantom” cash flow you thought you had.I own tracked heavy equipment, and every few years you’ve got a $25k track replacement bill.....you've got to calculate those in “as you go”, before they occur.
