Another friend pays pretty cheap insurance for a family plan and said he went through Obama Care to get the rate.As someone had stated, I've pondered the idea of getting a job just for the benefits and not really focusing on the pay.

@Casey York I have been pondering whether or not to start one now so the name can be used for marketing but without the cash flow, I'm not sure if my money is better spent on just pure marketing. 

I often ponder this before I pull the trigger.

Hi Rodney,looks like you came to the right place for advice - there are several really good answers here to ponder over.

Last time I checked, they don't work pro bono on specific performance suits.The point of this part of my post is this; A new investor ponders the idea of taking down a property and writing a check, actually taking title, committing to doing the rehab and funding it as well as hiring labor to do the work, then putting the property on the market and leaving it vacant susceptible to squatters and vandals while it is waiting to be sold, dealing with an appraiser and/or a shaky buyer, waiting on all these pieces to come together just to get a pay check and it terrifies the crap out of him.

I pondered this a lot on my properties because I'm a long-term buy and hold investor.

ive been pondering on this for a while.

The problem is, the more I ponder this strategy, the more I realize that if I find a good deal for fix and flip, that deal would also probably make a excellent deal for a rehab and rent.

I ponder about which is truer and to what degree and what the context is for the difference.

Glad to say, since I started my 5 year plan and finished it successfully, I've been pondering what my next moves should be.
