I know that many people are fairly vulnerable to a bubble bursting and will not have the available capital to move ahead.

Trying to see if all the investments you were using to grow your money went up in flames would you still be well off. 

If you will have trouble with a washing machine overflow, insurance wait, one month vacancy...real newspaper story about a rental foreclosure here during the last downturn... get your reserves in order, for your rental and any personal vulnerabilities.

I think that makes us vulnerable to bad decisions and manipulation.

You can put a trailer on vacant land, but without a fence and/or good neighbors, it's vulnerable to thieves while you are away.PM me if you want to talk further. 

And yes, it seems some local markets are more vulnerable than others.

Is the place in an economically diversified area, or is it vulnerable to problems based on the decisions of one employer in the area?

No training puts you in a vulnerable position like @Russell Brazil mentioned.

Otherwise I could use as many names and addresses of other vulnerable victims as I pursue what recourse is available for us.

I would have been open to hearing more about the “partnering” but the very second I did not agree with Peter Vekselman the conversation ended.This makes me sad and very frustrated at the same time for the new or vulnerable investor that "roll over"!
