If an investor is facing financial difficulties, they can quickly liquidate their stock market portfolio with minimal, if any, costs (this exacerbates the worst investor behaviors).

A good lender will readily embrace the opportunity to hear your pitch.

I pitched a deal on Wednesday, looking at the property tomorrow, so who knows . . . might be my lucky day!

My units are in San Diego (one exception) and therefore the costs might be higher but so will some of the life expectancies (virtually no water damage, minimal heat related issues, ... basically a mild climate). 

You pay the same amount of taxes whether you take the money out once or 12 times over the course of the year, so minimize the paperwork and potential processing fees by taking a handful of distributions per year.

I have tenants who will do minimal landscaping at my property. 

Of course, the standards were much lower, and with minimal upkeep, they deteriorated so much, that they were sold to private developers 3 decades ago.

My brother had a lease in the past that technically required 70% of the upstairs floor be covered by an area rug to minimize noise between neighbors.  

Thankfully, I have had very minimal backlash from my second home/vacation home buyers that I charge a retainer from.

Is the response to simply ride the wave and minimize the effects on your cashflow to the extent possible?
