My mom lives in a nice house that she has paid off.

The cash flow would be nice, but are you planning to hold for a long term or refinance before the balloon or sell?

Having a nice spread by the river in Washoe valley would be nice.

What I found was, yes it was nice have additional income, but each project seemed to always interfere.

Hey ladies and gents! I don't know how many of my Wisconsin people this will reach but I'm thinking of investing in the Sheboygan area this spring. I don't know much about it besides there's a plethora of churches, ba...

I personally invest in the North Dallas area (Prosper/Celina) where there is lots of growth in homes with nice lots.

Nice try, but this time does not count.In order to meet 750 hours, your wife will need one of the below:- do something else real estate related, like wholesaling or realtor- actively work on expanding your rental portfolio - have an extensive DIY rehab, like a month-long full-time rehab (and then she might need another kind of rehab)- a calamity such as multiple properties damaged in a storm where she will have to deal with insurers and contractors- something else out of the ordinaryAgain - if all you have is 9 single-family properties with stable tenants and typical occasional maintenance - you don't have enough work to collect 750 hours.

With your additional $100,000, you’d have a nice cushion to renovate or furnish a property like that.It really comes down to how involved you want to be and your long-term goals.

It's also nice that they have their own recommended insurer, those rates are much lower then what I would pay up in the northeast. 

EMAIL would be nice too.
