That is a slow and measured way to build your net worth and eventually wealth.But it takes you holding very precious the resources that you have and it takes a plan.  

Two options you might consider: First, precious metals.

Keep in mind, though that your most precious economic possession is your credit score.

Since you are a realtor, you know your time is precious.

I also listen to your so called dooms day economists (like Peter Schift and Simon black) to have a broader view of the world.It is your choice to listen to all information and make a decision or to ride your unicorn that farts rainbows.You said you have not heard any one of these dooms day economists recommend what to invest in which surprises me since they are all saying to get into precious metals.

Travel to me is precious, Stimulating and something we love... hovering around the house and never going anywhere that to me is quite boring.. but once you have your basic financial house in order then move out and do things for yourself what ever they may be...

I can almost agree, but I don't have the big jewelry and low hanging pants:)

If you think property managers were born to save your precious and tender cheeks whenever they lands in a tight spot, think again.6.

If you have small family and not a lot of valuable stuff in the house, you could probably write out a simple division of property and that might suffice....jewelry goes to X, watch goes to X, furniture should be sold and money divided equally between X and Y.No will, no probate, no trusts, no attorney fees.Now...that's for a quick death...if you are going to die slowly, then you probably want the package of POA, health directive, and all that that they give you in a package deal now.One other solution I am considering for the properties is to put them all in LLC or maybe 2-3 or multiple LLCs if possible. 

Why on earth are you wasting precious time on this?
