Ever hear the expression “drinking the Cool Aid”?

This isn't always possible, but sleeping 8 and seating 4 is unacceptable.

Trusting the sponsor will be paramount to you sleeping at night, and I can't stress that enough.

Will they leave a VM with the contractor and go back to sleep as water is pouring in from the upstairs unit?

I don't expect that any time soon, but it helps me sleep at night. 

That's planning and maybe it's not as exhilarating or quick but it'll sure help you sleep better at night.

In general home warranties are a waste of $$....pay $400-800/year, plus each service call of $50-75 and often the bigger items only get partially covered, so you still pay a decent % of those no matter what.The contractors they work with are often garbage and do crap work to just band-aid the issue, only to get another call and another $50 service feeYes, occasionally you will hit the home run with an HVAC etc, but in most cases, the insurance company is making WAY more $$ than they are shelling out....that's what they do.

Im going to go against what you what you want to get it from and you can get aid from there but IMO the cashflow from there is too low to support yourself and for your personal use.

At completion we had 10 Luxurious Airbnb-Style Suites that could sleep groups of up to 50 guests, NEAT Bourbon Bar (one of the top bourbon bars in the country), a 3,000 sqft Turf Gameyard, and a Private Rooftop Deck.

Having been recently threatened w/ a (admittedly frivolous) lawsuit, I sleep better at night knowing this nest-egg is judgment-proof.My passive income is probably lighter than yours, as I've consciously invested primarily in value and hybrid, as opposed to yield, plays.
