Reading this reminded me how much I missed your rumpus emails. I wish you made that coffee table book, instead I'm left with the few I've managed to keep in an old email archive that I don't even use anymore.

It seems like so long since you put out an issue of this newsletter! It's great to get a new installment.

The worst part are the neighbors. I doubt that I will do any other real estate investments, unless I move out of this town and go north where the air is just a bit cleaner. What I enjoy so much about your newsletter is your writing! It's telling that when you read a piece about something you have zero interest in and it captivates you, it is probably the writer's abilities that have snagged you (Duh!)!

How do you think about risk?

I enjoy reading these posts and want you to do well and really, really don't want this to turn into a tragedy. I have a nagging concern that you happened to start investing in real estate during the largest quantitative easing in history. Do you have a plan for when interest rates rise, when unemployment rises and people can't afford rents, and times get harder? How do you know you'll be able to ride it out?
