At 5% growth that home will generate $24,748 in total cashflow over those 10 years and is cashflow positive by $441 per month during year 10, and the cherry on the cake is that the home has appreciated in value to 163k.  

What you don't understand is that this puts you  in an analagous position and at the same legal risk as the people who refuse to bake cakes for LGBTQ customers.In their case it is direct discrimination in your case it is indirect.

It wasn't that bad as far as being gross goes other than the hole in the ground leading to the sewer, but it still takes the cake for weirdest thing stolen from a house.

@Rob TossbergLooks like you want your cake and eat it too.

The next one should be a piece of cake!

Taking bookings is cake really and I vet each and every guest.

You really can have your cake and eat it too.

It seems as if they do not need an investor becasue they are selling like hot cakes!

Sure, it has a cost (I've been more fortunate than some in that my employer paid for me to move), but you have to evaluate it in the context of future income/earnings, and whether it's worth it for you (and your family) or not.For some folks they simply don't want to change where they live - and that's OK; but you can't have your cake and eat it too (i.e you can't stay in a high unemployment area but still expect to make loads of money in salary or whatever else; if you choose to stay because of lifestyle or other reasons, that's totally fine - but there's generally a choice to move to somewhere different with better employment opportunities).If you invest (for sake of argument) 20K in moving and you gain 10K a year after tax in extra earnings - that's a 2 year ROI, after which, you're making extra money that will continue to increase with raises and so on - WIN!

Needless to say, I did not try to see if the mushrooms are edible :-)
