You must be a fellow citizen of "Planet Dan." 

Its not like a retirement nest egg where people end up spending a portion of it every year and having to wonder if they're going to out-live it.As an investor with 30+ homes, my rental income will eventually reach the point, once the homes are all paid off, that I'll be making more money off the rentals than I'll need.So, while the big picture in using sfh's to get you to that lofty income goal (and 400k is pretty lofty) may seem a bit daunting, the fact is that sfh's are probably one of the few investment vehicles on the planet that us regular people can get into at a relatively low cost of entry (I'm picking up 140k houses for a total of 5 to 6k out of my pocket) that can truly generate the kind of life changing wealth most of us aspire to have.The key is picking a pace you can handle and working the deals.

You have to work for what you make on this planet.

Naturally, they use the most expensive ones on the planet - at least in terms of my fees.

You should call the Turtleman on Animal Planet.

However, I have been given an exception because I have the worst neighbor ever on the planet.

There was an old toxic spill by Amoco in the 90's you can read about here: http://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/HAC/pha/AmocoSugarCreek092404-HC/AmocoSugarCreek092404-HC.pdf but as long as you aren't right next to the spill (which is in the north part I believe) I think you should be OK. 

Their life does not fdepend on them being slobs.....change their behaviour.If you can take a trip to Northern Ireland you will see the most spic and span parks on the planet.. they are incredible. 

Currently, the tenants are not aware that they are living in a toxic environment (1st floor unit only).

It came back will high toxic black mold and we could not say anything to the tenants about it.
