Everyone else gets a free ride off your property in value terms while theirs all drag you down, assuming yours in the nicest on the block.

so that would be an issue...I did notice you specifically said the back seat so it seems like as long as Coco is riding next to me, or driving, than I would be all set

I seen it just riding looking at house and sent him a hand written yellow letter. 

You could be facing liability with anything provided by YOU (the homeowner) to the tenant - lawnmowers, riding mower, and even appliances, just to name a few.Leave it on them to get their own mower, or a service to do it for them.

So grab on and enjoy the ride over the hill and to the bottom!

There isn't much you can really do other than ride it out.Treat your tenants well.

I've spent years growing up riding my bike, working political campaigns walking door to door getting intimate with all the neighborhoods, years being a delivery driver for Jimmy Johns really getting to know the different types of neighbor hoods and demographics of each part of town.

Ideally you would like to be able to purchase a property when the market is in a slump and ride the appreciation train all the way through the boom, but we all know that timing the market, if possible, is a difficult thing to do.I recently just finished a great book called Secrets of the Canadian Real Estate Cycle by Campbell, Trass & Head.

i say ride it out.

I would bet most who have that freedom end of chasing shiny objects and make less overallAnother way to think about it is stock investing, if you are constantly changing your stock picks versus riding out a specific portfolio my guess is those that do nothing win (in normal economic conditions even like today)You are far better off picking the right horse and sticking with them than constantly chasing the next shiny object
