Keep your head down, live below your means, delay gratification, and get that snowball rolling downhill. 

Understand delayed gratification and understand not letting people know.

Our culture of having things now instead of delaying gratification and working toward something when we can afford it has crippled our people.

Cashflow is negative, but Total ROI is 25-30%, meaning this would be an appreciation play and would provide a nice roof over my head and some gratification of owning a nice home.My guess is that it's somewhere in between these two scenarios.I'd still continue investing in future buy & hold deals, but this would mean I'd probably have to take a year off to rebuild my savings.  

If she is the perfect tenant except she is (Age/Sex/Race/Religion/Familial status/sexual orientation) then well you are simply discriminating.

Stop gratification spending put that money to debt.

Something that started with this a couple of years ago (my house on the right)Has turned into the removal of the fence separating the two properties (by the owner of the truck) which leaves me losing the foot of space between the privacy fence and the boundary fence.Mitigating circumstances - the guy that owns the truck has a history of violent crime (kidnapping, sexual assault on a child, assaulting a police officer, etc., etc.) and my interactions with him have resulted in schizophrenic ramblings (i.e. the Vatican owns my property, all financial transactions are routed through the city of London, etc.)I spoke with an attorney from this forum (a terrific help) earlier this week and I am weighing my options...the best being a 4 foot retaining wall along the property line with a 6 foot permitted fence to the front of the house. 

My advice is not to attend and send them the ugliest large-sized oil painting you can find at a starving artists sale, preferably with obvious overtones of sexuality, religion, or dementia.

They pay for their own tenant screening and that is going to tell us credit, criminal and sexual harassment. 

Being a violent, sexual predator, isn't like stealing from the local store.
