In the past we've always replaced them, but we've been toying with the idea on trying to repair them if the price was right.

I have tenants storing metal for sale, beat up in-door furniture, toys, bikes, a grill all around the ground of the property (front, side, backyard).

It's different when it's someone's entire life, kids clothes and toys, decent furniture, etc.Speaking of which, I just filed for a my third "lost title" on vehicles abandoned.

I'm currently in Jacksonville, FL, and am toying with the idea of long-distance real estate investing, at least to start out. 

Well, almost as if fate was toying with me, a friend of mine messages me and says that there is a group of the Georgia Army National Guard deploying to Afghanistan in a few months, and that as an officer you would make your full salary, tax free, plus combat duty bonus pay, and have effectively no expenses as all your food and housing is covered by the Army.

1) Take the cash and do a low money down deal into a house to live in, pay off your toy debt (20k)2) Rent a place until the right deal comes around3) Buy 2 deals that aren't the greatest, but still sorta work.

If we really wanted to, yes I have the 20%.

Most was destroyed, but there was a really neat toy from the 1960s, a Pillsbury Doughboy's Uncle Popper with a little blue car that was pretty rare.

It would have been really hard for everyone with babies crying and kids toys everywhere.

I made a toy model that says their deal could work, if they have a low cost of debt and high leverage and the stars align.
