Here’s a fun way to think about getting your spouse on board: focus on what not to do.Don’t talk about REI every single day.Too much can be overwhelming.

It's a fun story and it's how I got interested in notes.I bought a vacant, land locked (no easement) lot at tax deed auction (Washington is a deed state). 

My wife and I have overhauled our personal budget to reflect the 'pay yourself first' approach (allocate in order: income comes in -> invest -> donate -> fixed expenses -> variable expenses -> fun $$).We are looking to see what experienced people generally recommend for a holding tank for that 'invest' allocation while we target our first real estate deal.What financial vehicles have you guys used that works well for this?

It was a fun 30 seconds 😂  there is certainly value in the membership. 

Party folks, on the other hand, don’t mind sharing a room for the sake of the fun vibe. 

Best of luck on your real estate future, it's been a fun adventure for me!

It'll be fun to grab coffee and meet up! 

With a large portion of the incoming migration coming from international residents moving to the District, emphasizing improving and bringing back Washington D.C. sports teams to the city should create a strong desire for domestic residents to want to live near a fun, community engaging activity that is very relevant to those that live in and around the city.The District also has other programs it is running to make the District more attractive to live in outside of just working in the area, such as the Office to Anything program (Source) and the Housing in Downtown program (Source) which will incentivize developer through tax credits to convert office buildings into new construction housing and new construction retail properties, which should continue to attract more residents back to the area.D.C. also understands that with all of these big changes we have seen, the strategy and allocation of resources from the government moving forward should be reassessed to create a city that is adapting to the future trends to remain a safe and desirable place for residents to live.

Sorry to hear about your challenges...not fun. 

While not fun, I have managed to get through the issues and returned home to everything being solved.My biggest challenge is finding a handyman I can trust for simple/small/medium jobs.
