But if I sold today I likely would lose atleast 10k.Would it be feasible to just relocate for the job and rent the house for the time being and see what happens?

Driving to the store 4 different times is a waste of time and money.

This brings me to now, I've taken this approach and have used my own money in lending, but am also bringing in friends and family to take part in these transactions so they can earn way better returns than with CD's.

Please let me know what is convenient for you, and we can set up some time to meet.Aloha,Barb That sounds great, Barb.

Hope to spend more time here in retirement.

Transcribing transactions from bank statements, posting transactions to the correct accounts, and then manually creating an income statement, statement of owner's equity and a balance sheet is a fairly time consuming process and I have not been able to keep up with the book keeping between my regular work responsibilities.What accounting software do people recommend? 

🙌Once goals are set, it's time to reverse-engineer investment plan.

In the mean time, if I have a property I am seriously considering, can I direct message you the address and get your opinion?

Next time it snows drive around looking for snow removal teams and reach out to them for pricing?

Then, if you can trend over time you'll want to see where the "path of progress" is going/moving and attempt to buy in that path of progress to gain some appreciation in the future.
