Those are great inputs - thank so much! I suspected there was a statistical aspect to this. Definitely something I'll keep an eye on as I grow my portfolio. 

I have a basic newbie question about growing the number of properties I own. I own one SFH which is slightly cash-flow positive, and based on savings and income from other sources, I can likely tolerate a few months of vacancy. However, if I expand to, say, 3 or more properties, or even multi-family, there's likely no way I can foot the monthly payments if all homes/units were to become vacant at the same time. So how to avoid this risk while still growing my real estate portfolio? Or is it unavoidable and am I just hedging on multiple properties not becoming vacant simultaneously?

It seems to me that growth without significant equity already in place in a portfolio comes at the expense of risk from over-leveraging, unless I'm missing something. 

Great podcast. I'm fresh off finishing "crushing it in apartments and commercial real estate" by Brian Murray and this show really resonated! 

Next step: finding an opportunity...
