Because of recent severe hail in Oklahoma, in addition to the ‘usual’ tornados and ice storms, we were getting eaten out of house and home by insurance cost so have tried several approaches.

The first round of the playoffs start next week, and Vegas will face the wild-card Winnipeg Jets on Tuesday and Thursday at T-Mobile, having the home-ice advantage.• In a unanimous vote, the Nevada Department of Transportation's Board of Directors loosened up the high-occupancy-vehicle lanes running through Las Vegas.

This is in Arkansas and we have storms, which include hail, damaging winds, sleet, layers of ice and snow.

As they put more in, you give a bonus for a job done better than usually expected, that's a paycheck time.At the end of a day, before a project is completed, pull up in the afternoon, unlaod the grill, get the ice chest out with potato salad and beans and throw a steak on for each of them and of course the cooler has thier favorite beverage.

Remove snow and ice from driveway and sidewalks within 48 hours per city ordinance.4.

For the most part we can still find deals that cashflow but personally I’m a bit skeptical of appreciation. so While you did great in Cambridge my advice would be to buy for cashflow and then any appreciation will be icing on the cake. 

-Matt  Mom comes to live with you, in return she helps make dinner, but gets to go out to dinner when you go out at no cost to her.She pet sits, baby sits and vacuums (good exercise) as needed.She gets here own room with her own wall mounted TV and stuff from her old house in a storage unit.She can park in the garage if it makes her feel safer (outside may have slippery ice or a steep driveway).She rents the house out at whatever the market will bear, after a complete (unit turn type) deep cleaning by paid maids.Any needed fixes are done and good SCREENED renters are chosen, maybe use a management company.Think tax problems when you might put yourself on the deed, allocate income between her and you.Send her on a cruise every 6 months to somewhere fun--Acapulco, Alaska, etc...If you have kids they will probably love having grandma stay there, and she can bring them souvenirs back from her travels.She could also join a bowling league for those of her own age and gender, which is also good exercise.Good Luck!

Sorry for the delayed reply,eastern NC got hit with an ice/snow storm and well,the properties come first.James-The trust route is something we are strongly considering,we only have 1 child and are also considering a % transferred yearly.Sorta scared of the owner finance route,young enough a lot of notes might mature before needs stop and,getting out of property business and getting into the banking business.Yonah-Thanks for the offer,Let us get a little more educated and decide needs and such,then I'll take you up on it.Tommy-We did a 1031 last year and our health ins has gone through the roof.The property had a note to be paid off and we think that since we didn't exchange ALL the proceeds that the note amt was added to our income and did this.Gotta talk to our CPA and see if this was the cause,and how to avoid it in the future.We have talked to property mgr co. in our area and between their fees,taxes,ins,vacancies and maintenance there wouldn't be a lot of meat on the bone left to live on.Ron-Agreed,trust is top consideration.Dave-Great detailed advice,but very deep (as should be).Need to start addressing each subject on it's own that you listed and get on paper before asking experts.

On the West coast there has been no sea level rise, in the PNW the land is still rising from the last ice age, but we have had flooding from rain and snow melt.

(I am investing in a area where I commonly find ice dams)Thank you.
