I enjoy these types of BP discussions. 

We are fair housing compliant regarding animals.Our tenants’ safety and the peaceful enjoyment of their home is important to us, so we do a credit/criminal background check on all applicants aged 18+, as well as employment and prior landlord verifications.

Enjoy those grandkids!

I love my job and have enjoyed being a nurse for over 15 years.

Syndications are great if you want to own real estate and enjoy the appreciation while sharing the risk and responsibilities with others.

I had never been one for weapons, never have gotten into guns as a hobby or really enjoyed shooting.

I travel to the RRG often for outdoor activities I enjoy.

We are only very moderately leveraged, but I am in no rush to change that and rather use the cash flow to re-invest either into upgrades (we are doing a ton of driveways this year) or more RE.I don't think there is a right or wrong way, like you said there are many different ways, I just find myself adjusting every year a bit more in that direction. most condos historically are not great appreciation plays. its a place to live and enjoy.. unless said condo was bought in Miami in 2008 to 2010 :)No $#@% mate.And Chicago has been a disaster for many years now.I pinged Bri about it a while ago and she said "Good luck" hahaI guess it's more a trophy property than anything else during my "ego" pumping days.A bit older, balder and smarter nowadays I guess.Less is more mate lol

I hope you’re enjoying the community and learning a lot.

It doesn't have to be expensive either.Eventually there will be something a little extra special for all guests to enjoy.
