@Alan Pederson,

Here's my a-hole story for you.    My husband/partner is a shop teacher in high school, and loves it and does amazing with the students.    He's the brains on the renovation/construction, probably saves us $10K+ per renovation on labor alone.    One time he was walking to his car at the end of the day with some other teachers, and somehow they were talking about real estate, and another teacher goes "Oh yeah, don't you do it?" so he goes "yeah" and he goes "well, you must not be going that well if you're still here!" .... still grinds my gears, as I'd love to throw the real numbers in his face. ... or just punch him, but both are socially unacceptable.         

So that leads me to my point--- ONLY YOU KNOW YOUR NUMBERS.  For good reason, only you need to know your numbers--- no one else.    Sounds like you're doing amazing, congrats-- don't let d-bag Daves drag you down.. just smile, and know you have income coming in that he'd probably do a lot of unmentionable things for!  

Just smile-- you've already won.  

Co-workers aren't your friends, so I would recommend being as mute and low key as possible if ever asked about your properties.
