My four adult children are out of the house; so, below are goals for our 11 year old and me.Read 15 minutes per day and log it.Set limit on daily electronic use.Clean up after himself (toys, push chair in, dishes, clean bedroom, clean car).He plays sports and has a few tough baseball goals that he works with me on (inside/out swing, pitching mechanics, 3B fielding). 

One would need to be a serious sucker to value some Airbnb 5 star reviews and some sheds in the backyard at $200k+.Not necessarily. 

In my case, I wasn’t sure my land qualified because it was essentially my back yard, but because it was always a separate lot from my house, I was able to still do it because raw land without improvements on it is always considered investment property.

I currently a flipper in my backyard in CA and am in a similar situation where I'm looking to flip out of the state.

So he does not get to be guard dog at time when it is most needed (but the other dogs can go in the backyard 24/7, and they can bark and sound vicious).My area is very secure.  

A good analogy is baseball cards.

If you think keeping money in your backyard keeps you financially safe, just remember how that did not workout in Greece.

Highlight any unique features like a backyard or updated kitchen.

If you already have a single-family home with your own backyard, it's going to be a sacrifice. 

While rates were near all time lows, we bought a home that we could reside in and rent out the backyard detached living garage space.
