Every evening a woman would show up and put on a show with a vegetable. 

So, we are only keeping the vegetation cut back at this point.

It has to have lard and not vegetable oil. 

I currently have a non profit that I use to supply vegetables to underprivileged schools.

people away.As for fire danger: I am aware that if my insurance company decides to leave the area, I may not be able to find another one easily, due to proximity to a canyon with vegetation - despite no history of fires.

What a long post...I am in Macae, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil for the first time in 9 years after the 2008 Collapse of the US Economy, Hep C and the new cure, almost dying from the tumor on my liver that showed up four years later and was not discovered by all my Primary Physicians, my Oncologist sitting on my bed when they were pulling the tubes out of my throat to see if I was waking up as a vegetable...the only thing she said was, "you need to get your affairs in order...you have three years to live."

Got a big glass of water and a protein bar.

Your aim to pay off the property in 10 year or even 15 years is unrealistic, at least if you expect to pay it off from cash flow.If, on the other hand, you invest in properties that do perform, you can actually get them paid off with a 15-year financing, especially if you're not planning to consume any of the cash flow they might produce and feed it into the financing.Just to be clear, I am not recommending paying off the houses you purchase, but if you really feel you need to, investing in well-performing proteins, instead of a location where you know you will not get good performance.I'll be happy to help if you like
