I realized the debt trap I had fallen into had nearly drowned me.My wife and I put all of our debts on paper and decided  that we were no longer using debt for our personal finances.We got married last August and since then we paid off all our debts:$17,000 Wife’s Student loan$25,000 Credit card debt on one card$3509 credit card #2$500 credit card #3$3000 HELOC$12,000 car loan$8000 another car loan$4000 funeral expenses I did it the old fashioned way, lots of hard work and sacrifice.

Will be fixing the all the hardwood floors, replacing windows, fixing the small cracks in the plaster walls, paint, landscaping, replacing the front stairs and porch surface.

On the surface yes this sounds like a good deal.

You can get that re-surfaced but it will only last few years

I'm considering an alternative approach, which would be to fill these areas with sand/granite and install paver stones to create a more rigid/flat surface, which would still provide accessibility for future repairs.Might make sense to adopt both approaches, according to the specifics of each area.Much appreciated!

Basically you need to know ADR and Occupancy rate which you can get from companies like Airdna or just good old fashion manual research on VRBO/Airbnb/Homeaway. 

I have been keeping track of everything the old fashion way using Pen and paper.

Textured papers and unique designs can help give 3D illusions and therefore extra space, while designer paper from leading fashion houses can create great looking focal pieces without having to invade your space quarters.9.

Am I old fashioned?
