Sometimes I'll tell a serious story or a not so serious one. 

Happens all of the time.

Stock market-  it’s time for a 40 to 50% dive.Whether any or all of these come to fruition as an issue, just one of them would have a significant impact on REI.

I’m looking to find all sorts of people to work with, contractors, agents, private lenders, staging businesses.

I raised one tenant’s rent to $1,180, invested $5,000 in renovations while living in the other unit, and found a roommate paying $750.

The new heat pump all in ones (120 instead of 240 and don’t need venting) are much better than the older all in ones.

They offer an all in one policy, and also had a great rate compared to the others.

Absolutely, real estate can still be a smart investment—even in this market—and the Panhandle is one of the best areas to consider right now.

We would live in one half, rent the other and move out within a year once we find a better place to call home and then have both sides rented.2) We buy a home in our own names, not in LLC, with cash.3) Once we get jobs we can buy more duplexes in a different LLC, hopefully with a loan using equity from perhaps the other properties?
