I started out by relocating from New Jersey to Florida recently because I was too comfortable in my routine with no opportunity for advancement.

Once my wife establishes herself with her new broker and gets a feel for what her routine will be, we are going to have to find a way to start viewing properties and writing offers.

I do not consider myself a coach, mentor, or guru.However, I have taught basic finances at church for over 20 yrs helping people understand how to eliminate bad debt.My wife and I routinely meet with people to counsel them on financial matters.

That's because many routine jobs, both manual labor and office work, are being automated out of existence.  

But that's way different than buying lunch.That said, if I was selling Bentley's for a living I don't know if I'd be too stoked to use any currency proxy that routinely swings +/- 10% on a daily basis.   

Replacement costs are routinely much higher than the purchase price for most C class apartment buildings here in the Chicago area due to the high quality of the original building materials (brick, oak trim, hardwood staircases and doors, etc). 

I actually recommend working all your routines, from rent collection to maintenance, into your life (especially if a part time landlord)...So it may depend on your situation and scale, but getting my mail box money is probably the easiest (even enjoyable) part of the job.

I routinely get pulled over. 

Is it moral for politicians and local groups to routinely vote no against denser housing?

You need to know all this well before completing a purchase.The operating budget will obviously tell you what they are spending money on for the current period, on things like landscaping, various routine repairs, pest control, pool service, utilities, and preventative maintenance.
