The residual noise from your kids may lead to some serious tension.

Even if folks remain married, the certainty of knowing how assets would be distributed in such a terrible situation can take tension and uncertainly out of the equation. 

My thoughts here were that if you had both female and male tenants under a single roof, it could cause tension between the tenants, in a good or bad way, but either way could prove to be troublesome for an investor/live-in landlord. 

Not purely as an investment but also an exercise for my design and construction muscles.

This should ease the tension.

Your first purchase will help to relieve tension, afford you with some working knowledge and self assurance.

Is the foundation post tensioned? 

Would it surprise anyone if Putin does something to heighten international tensions and thus push crude oil prices higher. 

To tell you to look for hard money investors but dont tell you how and why you do those things.If success where certain and my mentor told me it would make me a successful investor to do 500 jumping jacks a day then do a back flip at the end of every 10 i would have very sore muscles!

This reminds me of the time I got into the ring with the just out of prison tattoed fighter all muscled up.
