When I say nice, I don't necessarily mean expensive, or content rich, but something that is aesthetically pleasing and functional, and remember lots of branding.

It is a function of asset-type (commercial property) and asset value (I will establish a new LLC at about $2MM) for risk management.  

But, the essence of knowing whether we are getting ahead is a function of discounting cash flows and seeing past the garbage (cash on cash) which means nothing.  

I would have to think if you go through the money of making it aesthetically pleasing you also took the time to make sure all systems function properly.Sorry for the rant I can just relate to this post way too well!  

i agree.with all that has been saidBut WARNING find a brokerage that will let u function as investor the way u intended.Taking yourself out of the equation may be OK for some brokerage and not for other.SELLING my own stuff commission saving had a fine print I couldn't live with.I just made my move bc at my first brokerage I feel I can't do this, can't do that.

It's very old and needs replacing, but is fully functioning.

I am in Lima, but lived in Columbus and Cinci.The answer to almost every question in REI is a function of your exit strategy.

I should be so much further along in life than I am now, I've had a low 6 figure paying job in IT since I was 20' and up until last year, didn't utilize my checking account and was basically living pay check to pay check, with nothing to show for it now but being in debt with a couple cars and a bunch of useless things I do not need.I decided for my 25th birthday in a couple months, i want to start building wealth, i want to be able to by my 26th birthday have one or 2 properties that i've either bought to hold, or flipped... havent decided which is better for me yet, I'm still doing research but I am giving myself an action date of my birthday in a couple months so I'm not struck with analysis paralysis and time to save some money.I plan on attending the next meetings for all of the Maryland/DC area REIC meetings, and being active on forums, but will try not to be annoying and ask a bunch of questions instead of using the search function...I know how annoying that is hahaHope to get to know and work with a lot of you

Sounds a bit like a rooming house, so I suggest you use the search function for that search term.
