My Tenant Just Trashed My House | The Aftermath

"since I no longer live in California, it's begun to make a lot more sense to sell off a few of those first few properties and then move that into something else. Perhaps it'll be in Las Vegas. Maybe it'll be a commercial rental property. Or maybe it'll go back into index funds."

"And in terms of how you could avoid this happening to you, first I think a lot of people paint home ownership as a fast way to make a lot of money. And don't get the wrong idea because it can be quite profitable, but it comes with the risk that something can happen. That's why it's so important to always have a home emergency fund equal to 3 to 6 months worth of your home's expenses at all times."
