Assemble as much money as is reasonable, be prepared and enjoy the ride.

I enjoy a good book that will help me on my way to success. 

If quick and easy, stay liquid, if not, pay down and enjoy a nice rate of return.

In 10 years, when you have a nice portfolio of homes and they're cash flowing nice chunks of money, you'll appreciate the amount of time, energy and effort you put into your business and will get to enjoy the fruits of your labor.When I first went to the cpa I've been using for the last 5 or 6 years and explained what I was doing, he said, he's heard it before.

Not all investors share the same goal.If it's strictly positive cash flow, you're going to have a tough time meeting that goal while living in one of the units these days in Belmont Shore.Under the current economic decisions, if you're going to live in one of the units, a more realistic goal might be to subsidize your mortgage with the other two incomes to bring your mortgage payment down, build equity, ride the market appreciation, force some appreciation of your own, refinance when rates are in your favor to crush the mortgage payment down, and keep positive cash flow for a long-term goal.Belmont Shore is a nice area where homes hold their value well and enjoy good appreciation as well as strong rents and in general, the type of renters landlords are looking for.Belmont Shore is also a good area for short-term rentals and you may want to consider renting one unit as an LTR and the other as an STR.Ultimately, your situation is going to dictate whether this triplex is a good investment for you and your husband but as a Long Beach resident, I know that Belmont Shore is an area that people aspire to buy a home in.

Hope everyone enjoying Memorial Day weekend.

I don't enjoy the tedious repair work associated with my own home so I felt it didn't make sense for me to drive myself mad with repairs on rentals as well.

Enjoy all this crazy awesome content.

I enjoy reading different viewpoints in BP.
