My wife and I are ready to deploy our nest egg into REI.

On the flip side if we keep it until the loan matures (8 years) we’ll have a nice nest egg to fall back on assuming the housing market stays in good shape, and it’ll likely continue to appreciate but our cash flow as a percentage of the equity won’t be great.

We have moved on to some kind of poison trap similar to a roach motel which is suppose to kill the nest. 

They started getting popular in the late 70s and early 80s, I believe, and there has been an incredible bull market since that time, so people who entered the workforce at that time and contributed diligently all these years (and just left it alone) are finding they have a nice nest egg, as long as their home is paid off and children are on their own by now. 

We discussed each of our concerns, hers we're more about getting the owner a small nest egg, and I was looking to meet my cash flow (quad chart) criteria.

We couldn’t tell from the first appearance that we had a rodent’s nest, which is the dark spot to the right of the plumber.

Bruce I've heard good things about Nest and Simply Safe.

We are converting our house into a rental property and there is an interior security camera (part of a NEST system) in the main living area Is there any reason I have to remove it when tenants occupy the property?
