Once my seven kids have left the nest I'll have to convince the wife we should downsize :)

I have done well over the years, and have a nice nest egg for my grandchildren.

What made this job even more fun were the hornets that built a nest in the holes and attacked me while holding tools balanced on a ladder 25 feet in the air... 

The next time I will be in OH will be nest week and would love to look at what is available.

They had a nice nest-egg when they got out, 4 years later. 

The tenants we accepted continue to pay rent online through cozy.co .The tenants that we chose have been great so far, the only complaints really being the heat situation, since there is only one thermostat(I use a nest thermostat, which I can control max and min temps) bottom tenant likes it really hot, and upstairs not so much.

If you get the price you want for your property, it sounds like you'd have a nice nest egg to get started investing over here where you have boots on the ground.If you need any connections getting started, we are plugged in down here and can recommend some great people.

Once you have a bit of a nest egg, then you can venture into buy and holds for some long-term income, or you if you've developed a taste for the quick profit, you can continue to do the fix and flips.  

You can install instant locks like August that changes the codes each time you let a guest in and also install Nest to control the temps of the place when the guest leave.  

If you're getting up there in years the whole idea is to have your nest egg outlive you so you don't have to become dependent on others.As far as HML's are concerned I'd sooner put my $$$ with an experienced HML before I'd try taking on all the responsibilities and nuances of managing such an undertaking on my own.
