Ken, You're changing the subject to something neither of us ever discussed.The only thing you claimed was that having no-debt on a SFR property makes no sense, because of your theory that the government is going to be massively raising taxes on property owners to "oppressive" levels.

And, being 23, raised in this world, I really don't care about substance, I care about making that $ yo!

Can you raise rents, reduce expenses, or change its use (e.g., short-term rental, mid-term rental)?

If you care and it bothers you, raise their rent another $500/mo for the hassle.

I completely understand that concern and glad you both raised that point about a nursing home, however, I do have a big house and we have casually talked about moving her in with me when that time comes.

Financial Highlights•Acquisition Price: $72,000•Renovation Costs: $35,600•Total Investment: $107,600•Funds: raised from personal savings and private lender How did you add value to the deal?

The tenant pays a monthly premium and keeps an active bank account and credit card on file.

INstead of just saying "no" we asked them to check with their credit card company if they offer travel insurance yada yada.. we got a 5 star review form them without giving a refund.

It seems that many of these companies are accepting investment in return for unsecured loans and new capital is constantly being raised to pay off investor redemptions.

As we age much of a fear is being a burden to our children.When we are raising them we strive to provide for them.
