Perhaps some cars on blocks or couches on the front porch.

I see two shots of bunk beds, but they're in some sort of living room with a couch prominently featured.

Paid off a bunch but it took work and discipline.I'll now pass the mic back to my young knowledgeable friend, Nik!

I work 2 weeks on 1 week off and mainly live out of hotels/ camps or couch surf with the family.  

Tell him to get his butt off the couch and find whatever job he can get, Home depo is usually hiring.

That said,  the fact that you are thinking about GC and holding time puts you ahead of many of the newbies who come on here asking generic questions on how to get started with the change under their couch and no research.Also, I looked at your profile page.  

Mic drop!

we bought 3 years ago so pretty good deal. but friends of mine that bought in 2011 to 2012 KILLED it.. far better than those that talk about appreciation is luck or icing or whatever non sense they like to couch that buying for cash flow only is the only sane way to buy real estate..

I can't see  that they should be struggling to pay rent because they had to eat a few meals out and sleep on mom's couch. 

There were 2 couches and a kitchen table set and 50 old Elvis records.
