I’m not really focused on appreciation but it would be nice to have both cash flow and appreciation.I spent part of my child hood around the Humboldt park area and I came back 20 years later and went to the same area while I was on vacation in 2017.

While I knew that I wanted to begin building my portfolio in Central Florida due to my childhood network and familiarity with the area, I was a bit overwhelmed by the prospect of investing out of state...so I pushed it off.Enter COVID-19.

I know I could get a 30 or 40 year loan and use money now to cash into another property but my beautiful young bride wants to ensure the house is paid off.

Ask 10 grandmothers, get 16 different opinions.I envy your childhood :) 

I am partnering with a childhood friend who has the same vision as I do, he has great credit and worked for the most part besides since the covid hit, and we both have about 10k to invest.

My Mother is looking to me for answers to a dilemma that my sisters and I are struggling to figure what to do with our childhood home built in 1988.

So, basically, my wife's childhood home is in a state in which I cannot explain.

We had a six month engagement and Darren ended up buying this while I was being a busy bride-to-be!

This childhood dream of mine unfortunately came to an abrupt end a few years in but nonetheless was an experience of a lifetime.

Smoke and mirrors created by advertising, years on years of brainwashing since childhood.
