The town has been slowly growing as the commercial center of the region for some years and is in construction on a sports-tourism complex and a casino-hotel.I would finance the needed rehab with the equity, inspectors and contractors have already been through it for a prior offer and given the needed work a thumbs-up.

Lots of tent living in a part of the world where most would not want to go.I keep forgetting that I can't use the same language that was used when I enlisted back in 1980 - things like 'embrace the suck' and 'FUBAR' don't play well to a wider audience.

Try working an overtime shift once a week to make a better car more affordable.You should strongly consider your wife working from home.If she has computer skills and/or secretary training,she could easily be a virtual assistant to several real estate agents who need help with their paperwork,a reservation specialist for a travel and tourism company,or another customer service specialist.There are many jobs that can be done without leaving home and neglecting the children.

However, it's much easier to embrace that strategy when you already have money, income properties, and are operating on a timeframe of "decades" rather than years.
