What is your game plan in terms of surviving and paying off the rest of the 60% of the mortgage?

we manage around 40 right now (used to be at 80 or so) not my favorite program for sure but in some areas and for some homes it is the right path to take. 

Some of my favorite Zip codes are 38109, 38104, 38111, & 38107.

I've met Jim and Chris, both on informal basis's at the Haunted House which was a great fundraiser for Northwest Harvest and then as a guest at the suite for a Kraken Game (had my own tickets, just got a guest pass to the suite to hang out with my in laws). 

It may be a difficult game to get into in 20 years, yet many will find a way and the cycle will continue, so long as the US is still standing.Ultimately, none of us has a crystal ball, we can only look at history.Conversations like these have been going on since the dawn of man and will continue. 

Gotta 1 up @Jonathan Greene its for sure a different and more relational game. 

We're mourning the loss of friends and neighbors, some of which haven't been found yet, not to mention favorite places, small businesses, animals, you name it.

And those property taxes in Texas can be a real game-changer, especially without any cap, making it tough to predict long-term expenses.

In my opinion, house hacking is the easiest way to get into the RE game with the lowest money out of pocket...plus if you throw in a renovation loan like the 203k or homestyle, you can boost your worth quickly!

You're not in this game for a year with the buy and hold strategy.
