Deliver pizza, eat rice and beans, and throw every dollar at the student loans.

You're welcome @Adrian Rice.

As such, I would like to expand my search and have heard great things about the "Outside Crosstown"/Wagner Terrace markets.

I have 5 years left on HELOC at which time we could easily retire (could do beans and rice retirement next year).  

Me and a buddy rented the 2nd floor of a 2 story duplex near Rice Univeristy.

I want to hear about the beans and rice, the research at McDonalds because of free wi-fi  and learning [and appreciating]what a '3dog night" actually is.

Typical example:These cozy Portuguese on the terrace did a bit of luck, the magnificent town house of his uncle was only€ 210,000 for sale, but .....

She went ballistic, saying it wasn't her fault and that although she does keep boxes of cereal and bags of rice in the lower kitchen cabinets and on the floor, that couldn't be the problem.

I would not have bought in Clinton Hill, Bed-Stuy, Ditmas Park, Windsor Terrace, all in Brooklyn.I would never have seen rents and appreciations which moved up 5 times the purchase price, 10 times the purchase price, etc.I would not be purchasing MORE investments, this time at $2 Million for a multi-family.If you really want to Invest in these higher appreciation areas, you should really put some thoughts into the Future Financial Maths, the Pro-Forma 10 year Projection Business Plans, the Economic activities in the areas, the cycle that I described above, and for international cities like NYC and SF, global fluctuations in Currency risks as foreign money moves from higher risky international areas (think Venezuela in today's current economic news) to less risky International cities.Just some food for thought!
