Well. In 4 weeks I am going back to real job. I had been able to live a reasonably cushy existence on rental income from several apartment buildings I bought before the West Coast real estate crash. Tenents were stable and steady payors. For the last 2 years I have been dealing with nothing but headaches, evictions, and people trashing my places, because they are po'ed at the world and have no money so they don't care about anything. I got out of my last building and took a big ass hit on it, but I just don't want to deal with being a lord anymore.
So now I got 4 weeks to trade like a mo-fo, make some scratch back and then its back to the grind for me. And a grind it shall be! Unfortunately, my scratch pile has once again been rendered so small as a result of trying to sell my last building, I am down to the nub.
There are tons of people like me out here who have had it too damn easy for the last 6-7 years. REALITY BITES.
