Trying to find a way to expand our real estate portfolio while also improving our own home.My wife and I lived with family for 2 years, which allowed us to save quickly.

Personally, I'd prefer dollar-tree ones (if basic, uncluttered look) over none in the room (bedroom, whatever) because I want to encourage trash being put away.

thanks for the quick reply!

No way he could have grown his rental business that quick or developed scale, by buying his own properties.  

When doing them, it is best to be in and out as quickly as possible and preferrable during the storm "off-season".

Also, when not occupied, the PITI on a high-end home can quickly erode prior cash flows.

Sure, you can make a few quick trades, but the playground monitors (a.k.a. the law) might notice, and you’ll miss out on the bigger opportunities and loyal customers.So, while skipping the license might seem easier, it’s not the best way to win at the toy game in the long run.I have this talk with 10-15 people each month at our Free Meetups here in MA, NH, and ME.

You'll be able to meet quite a few very quickly that way.

Real estate is one of the best mind-sharpening exercises in the investment world simply because getting it wrong there is no stock liquidation or quick way out.

Also appreciate your doing it to encourage others.  1) Totally understand where your coming from.
