I am not happy sitting till the late hours writing SEO for my website.I am not happy telling a seller that needs money for their sick child's operation that I can only pay $70K for their house instead of $120K she should be getting.I am not friggin HAPPY to drive all over friggin damn CT looking at houses that may or may not lead to a damn deal.What drives me, is when I see people like Brandon doing podcasts from friggin Hawaii while I am freezing my monkey nuts off hustling so I can be able to be free, and live life on MY damn terms when I make it.I used to stare at a bag of crab legs in the super market.my mind says NO you greedy animal you can't afford it, while my belleh says  .. dude, that with butter.. are you kidding?

@Patrick Liska  PA DOES have state inheritance tax, and it applies to PA real estate, even if owned by somebody out of state, like NJ.  0 percent on transfers to a surviving spouse or to a parent from a child aged 21 or younger; 4.5 percent on transfers to direct descendants and lineal heirs; 12 percent on transfers to siblings; and. 15 percent on transfers to other heirs, except charitable organizations, exempt institutions and government entities exempt from tax.

With the respect that all humans and in addition our elders, deserve.Quoting a line from Fried Green Tomatoes "I'm old, I'm not a child."

I am very familiar with that property - lived there since young child/worked/currently own properties in area.

After this tenant having a new concern every week, I think she either wants out, or she’s neurotic...or both.Other complaints: Washer/dryer hook ups are in the basement, child is wheezing must be mold (whole house was tested in July...it’s not mold), washer/dryer hook up is in the basement, want to put washer/dryer hook up in the detached garage (Indiana), not enough room on the counter for their big microwave, the washer/dryer hook up is in the basement, want locks re-keyed because she thinks somebody entered her house (nothing missing), washer/dryer......Driving me nuts!  

I mean before I had my first child, you fret because they don't come with manuals, right?

I lived in it for 4 years with my wife and newborn - didn't make sense to sell it since I put zero down.Now, after 4.5 years of buying, minor/mid-level rehabbing, then selling for a profit, we've managed to get to a point where we can start the ball rolling towards our long-term goal, which is primarily buy and hold RE.

But there are some liens (IRS, child support?

Are you going to have more than one child?  

The ultimate goal is to build a legacy to leave to a future child and to have the freedom to go where we want, when we want, with one addendum: charitable donations to organizations that really do help those they're claiming to help.
