Kids, dogs, cars, motorcycles, parties, etc. all generate noise.

I left corporate America last year in Feb. was tried of the 9-5 grind.

PleaseThere is a plan for the coin up after my basement's foundation is fixed.I am a bit concern with the noise (coin up).

Plus, its making a lot of noise today.So... what would you do?

I have 5 doors cash-flowing $1k per month of relatively passive income and I'm working on tying up an SFR that should bring in another $100-$200 per month.Things have been cruising along very nicely, but I fear my operation will be coming to a grinding halt.

For most people, buying real estate (at least in the beginning), means penny-pinching for long periods of time in order to acquire the capital needed for the investment.It could be months or even years of frugal living to achieve a goal, focusing on "needs" rather than "wants".But even the most dedicated need a treat every now and again to break the monotony of what I call "the grind", in order to recharge the batteries and stay motivated.So, do you guys (and gals) treat yourself?

I live in the same county and have raised my children there (one recently got out of the Navy, one graduated from our medical college and is making at least twice what I do in my medical job) and it still grinds my teeth when, frankly, white applicants comment how poor our schools in my county are and "want" to rent in the next white bread county over but DON'T want to pay the higher amount of rent they'd need to do so.

While that is certainly true in many cases, don't forget that location (ease of access to amenities, views, noise from traffic, construction or industrial parks, cleanliness/safety of the neighborhood, and overall situs for the area) is a big factor that influences value as well.

Usually a train is a negative to sales price and for a homeowner buying or rentability.Now if the train carries people it can be a benefit for commuters being close to walk to the train to get to their jobs etc.2 points is the vibration of the train and the noise of the train.Next is how active is the route and at what times does it come by??

If they are sunk into the concrete cut them as low as possible with saws all, then grind them down gulch with angle grinder.
