It totally makes more sense to spend tens of thousands on a cashflowing house vs. jewelry and a 1 time party.

We just bought all new appliances, except for our vintage cook stove, it's a workhorse! 

We rent rather than flip, and cater to low income, and put the wide slate faux wood white blinds up.  

Hi all,I recently rehabbed a Manufactured home (1996 vintage), put it on the market and have it in contract with an FHA buyer.  

Cash faux is not profit.  

@Austin Faux Thank you for that!

Although I'm in love with the woodwork, hardwood floors and the way cool vintage slider on the deck!!

I put the 2 inch faux-wood blinds up, and charge tenants if they break them (nobody has, yet).

Those vintage buildings carry a ton of other type problems besides know and tube such as asbestos,lead paint, galvanized plumbing, cast iron sewer,etc.Paying 3,000 for an inspection could save hundreds of thousands down the road in costs.

Consistent and persistent thoughtful and intelligent actions replicated on a daily basis is harder to implement as it requires a total shift in thinking and being.I did not have 2 pennies to my name and often was on food stamps and would pawn what jewelry I had over and over again just to eat.
