Based on where you at now, paying off your mortgage and continue to grow steadily will easily get you there in the next 10 years with minimum stress and headache (minus WWIII happening, JK)If you are someone who are aspire to maximize growth, have a f*k you money and want to get into politics and expand your influences, and also prepared to embrace the headache and stress that come with that lifestyle, then you wouldn't want to pay off the mortgage but put your money somewhere else that would give you maximum return.

We embrace S8 applicants, but screen them just like any other applicant.Many have an entitlement mentality and try to leverage their S8 voucher by pretending to be helpless:1) A percentage won't apply because they expect a landlord to waive application fees for them.2) Many cry broke and expect a landlord NOT to charge them a security deposit.3) Many of those same S8 tenants trying to avoid paying a security deposit, won't make an effort to call the list of nonprofits we send them that will pay their security deposit if they apply.4) A lot of them try to avoid paying for utilities.

Real estate companies that embrace this new reality will emerge not only compliant but more resilient, more attractive to investors, and better prepared to navigate the future of the industry.

I'm also on the lookout for warehouse space for the Women's Service League and Stage Kids. 

Really really wish BP would embrace creating a glossary and leading the way to defining these terms for the industry.

We also have smaller pods such as underwriting, women investors, public speaking as the results of the entrepreneurship culture and value that continually being re-emphasized within the community.

Easier to be in a place that embraces it.Where are you thinking about buying?
