A pool, a small gym, parking, internet. 

Ideas for some of the paragraphs: - Future Setting: where you live, what you see from your front porch or backyard, what your kitchen/gym look like. - Family: Kids? 

HOA is currently $172/month, with and additional $44 for club fees, covering club amenities, including a gym, boat lift, a restaurant etc. 

I truly think I only need 4 more houses to hit my goal and then shift from buying to paying them off.I am not sure if I am thinking about this the right way and I am sure there are things I am not thinking about but below are my thoughts:Pros - I can purchase the houses I need to hit my goal faster - With getting homes fasters the depreciation, tax benefits, amortization, appreciation, rent increases all start sooner - Home prices on average should be lower now then if I buy in 4-5 years - I can take better advantage of leverageCons - I have more risk until I pay the properties off - Less upfront cashflow - Longer timeframe to acquire the properties to reach my goalIf anyone has any opinions or advice I'd love to hear it.

By the way, if I didn't continue Velocity Banking, I would still pay off my home about 5.5 years sooner and save $30k+ in interest.

If you can get all the bedbug containing furniture out of the place and it will sit for awhile (or let it sit while the other repairs are done) you may be able to avoid some cost, but if you want to get a paying tenant in sooner rather than later you will want to bite the bullet and get it well done.

There is a reason that even if you are Curry or Lebron, Coby or Jordan, as great as are / were, they are still in the gym, day-in and day-out, working on the basics to their last day.

I know this is above and beyond what most municipalities require, but being fair will make the whole process easier.Additionally, a new landlord can reduce the 60-90-day notice by offering more moving assistance (cash and/or labor) if they move sooner rather than later.

Sometimes life happens faster than you think (weddings, job changes, market shifts), so it helps to know your break even point in case you need to move on sooner rather than later.

Very odd to see a 19 year old kid In the real estate investing world i feel like, but the sooner the better.
