I can just say I only paint the wall with my friend and paint the floor and paint kitchen cabinate.

I couldn’t believe it.

If you’ve worked with someone licensed, bonded and insured in the Cleveland area that you would recommend please share.

I had to protect my bank whhile he went broke so I ended up paying for a few subs twice..

The company wanted me to push stocks and bonds, but didn't want me recommending anything they didn't make money on.

I don't remember seeing this in the past, but could have just missed it. 

I, too, would like an example of defeasance. 

The US has $9 trillion in debt maturing next year that they will have to sell new bonds for that debt.

I was also considering the REI expo in February so maybe I'll see you there.You're a self-proclaimed novice but I think many other members of the community would agree that you're well on your way given your potential cashflowing rental and equity.You seem to have a strong position which would allow you to keep growing your portfolio in the next few years.I'd recommend diversifying your RE portfolio the same way you're diversifying with other investments (REITs, Stocks, bonds etc.).

It’s a powerful tool for diversifying your retirement portfolio beyond traditional stocks and bonds.
