But I think my external family has enough of a taste of the success of what we're doing that I don't worry about any debbie downers having much of an effect at this point in time.But yeah it seems like right now, Rachel has been more naturally geared towards the book keeping, paying bills, and then pitching in a helping hand etc.  

I figured after trying to evaluate multiple RE things that none of those is really to my taste.

I'd never give up control of my project like that because buyers can be flaky and whimsical and back out of a deal then leave you with a house specific to their tastes that others may find not so appealing. 

There is still very strong demand for SFV but many buyers with no kids have different needs and tastes and that opens other LA areas that in the past not many new buyers would have accepted.

It somehow tastes better when you know how much "fat" you are cutting out of your life.Regarding the house I proposed moving to my wife and renting a smaller place but that was a non-starter. 

Taste, service, the intangibles that make people pay 1000% more than what they might find at a high end outlet store.  

Could be tasting freedom when some are just graduating college.

This will be our first deal, and now we're like the dog that caught up to the car (we haven't bit it yet, but we can taste it).We want to put together 2 proposals for the homeowners.

I have not done the equity investment myself as the LTV seems little too thin for my taste.
