Put in man hours clearing the property in the process of putting in a second culvert for vehicle access to a section separated by a creek

I have a small GC company with a few vehicles, 4-6 full time contractors and a few subcontractors, but when we are pricing contracting work and I have to factor in travel time and gas costs, it adds up a lot more than it did last year.

Still have plenty of room on the 50% vehicle to income ratio. 

I do think it is very much like buying a vehicle before closing on a mortgage. 

You will be fine and you will crush it as long as you don't graduate and go buy a brand new vehicle and take on other bad debt just cause you can.Note: This is all the advice I would give myself if I could go back 15+ years and talk to myself in college. 

What is the vehicle count on the road out front?  

We are all at different points of life with the same goal to increase income but the vehicle for some will be a better fit for others and vice versa.

A heat pump water heater, for instance, uses less gas than a gas water heater, assuming the electricity is produced by burning gas.Electric resistance heat is expensive and inefficient.A power outage in Houston is almost never an emergency except in the coldest storms every 50 years.When the power goes out your gas heat generally becomes unusable as well, because you still need electricity to run your blower motor.

So it might help to think about it as a$400/mo property + a vehicle to help your credit get back to where it needs to be (which could jumpstart your investing much more then "a better property")If you're in need of cash, then maybe sell it and take care of number 1 (yourself) first, but IMO this property sounds like a pretty great investment as is...

After finishing the work and finding a tenant I wanted the vehicle out so the new tenant could park there.
