Let the growing pains begin

Think of the pain you will have to go through if the town red tags your house after you have a seller and you are ready to close.  

In my case, I feel comfortable with $25K in reserves for my real estate and personal emergencies.Please do not tell me to invest in another property, stocks, and other non-liquid assets.I may be over thinking a low yield issue but it pains me that I am only getting 1.5% on my cash in the bank.Any ideas or perspective on this would be appreciated.

If you have a problem tenant that is slow paying or you have to evict, it is nice to have income from other properties to ease the pain.

Cash: Cash may seem great, it's real and doesn't bounce, however, it usually means you have to meet your renter in person to collect which can be a pain and it's hard to keep track of.

So, in the end or up until now the pain was worth the gain, however if I could skip insurance claims I'd probably go back and do that.So I'm having an attitude problem and other things going on in my life, I realize in order to get out after hearing the likes of Gary Vaynerchuk and others on the BP podcasts, (though have to credit Vaynerchuk the most) I need an attitude adjustment. 

Driverless cars should reduce or eliminate the pain points of a long commute, but it's not likely to push major commercial development out of the urban core as aggressively (after-all, you need people/traffic in a close proximity for brick and mortar businesses to succeed).I imagine driverless cars will bring about some changes to the RE market, but I don't think they'll happen all that quickly.

You'll want to qualify them way more and find their motivation and pain point.

(what a pain...)Once you give them your tax ID and they register you as a business .  

Dog nail scratches will be a pain to see as well.
