Second: writing off the full cost of a new car is badly overhyped.

Try for 2 car garage.  

MLS has it as a single family residence, 3 bedroom, 1.5 baths (actually has 2.5 baths), approx 1500+ sqft, 9k+ lot size, 2 car garage, back yard. 

Once you retire the title and place a mobile home on its own lot then our county taxes as real property and we pay property taxes like a stick built home vs a mobile home in a mobile home park which is taxed like a car - vehicle tag.4. 

If you're a single mom with student loans, a car payment, and living paycheck-to-paycheck, then $20,000 would be devastating and a reserve is critical.

I like checking what the inside of the car they showed up in looks like.

When it comes to homelessness, it usually refers to someone who is living in an area that is not meant for human habitation, like a car, sidewalk, or park. 

You don’t get CA level appreciation in Kansas City.Some areas are high crime so need make sure you understand the neighborhood you are investing in, like any city all locations are not equal.Very car centric city, mass transit is not widely used, people don’t walk, they drive outside of a few very walkable locations in heart of the city. 

4 cars in the driveway and only 2 people on the lease?

Then think about writing off your cellphone, your internet, you car, your home office, your tax prep, etc etc etc.
