The guests refused to pay.  

Quote from @Ricardo Lemus: For a newer investor, a good investment is a property that pays for all expenses with some cash left over.

Remember, if you sell it, you'll have capital gains that you will have to pay since you are buying the other property before you sell you're old house.

For example, in my state PA there is an inheritance tax and many TAX auction properties originate from people passing away and the heir(s) not taking control over the estate and paying those property taxes.

Mainly the panel is in the basement and it would require a ton of work and paying for labor hours + repairs. 

I don’t know when an LLC starts to pay off if you don’t have any partners.

We have an existing mortgage (backed by these 2 lots and 2 others) and given the increase in appraised value there is no need to pay anything back to the lender when selling the lot.

They pay their bills on time and make good tenants.

We just helped an investor buy a side-by-side duplex for $110k, pretty turn key with tenants in there paying $825 a side.

However the older generation that lived through the 80s really like that arcade cabinet and they are the ones paying for the trip. 😉
