Thank You @Troy Zsofka! Our older homes have been the flip houses. We have kind of had a whirl wind of things happen. We bought our first home that was mostly all remodeled in 2005 and things had been gone trough in then the market crash. They had simple things left to finish and all landscaping to do. Very simple things for me with equipment to take care of. Sold it bought a rental and a another two year fixer. I mowed the yard at the fixer. Painted the interior for demo. My wife received a call and a person that was bidding on it against us originally offered us a fair price above what we paid. We say we basically wholesaled the place to him in 14 days. Then it turned to our "rental" that was going to be basic and now became our home until we can find ourselves another deal to be had.
On the shiny new things. We both still have our day jobs to take care of our needs. The money from real estate deals and the wife's commission checks are all getting poured back into real estate and the Uncle Sam fund!
We are young and trying to push forward. Work hard now to play hard later right?
