Insurance will pay for most stuff, but we lost baby pictures, clothes, inherited jewelry, .... priceless items!

Our job is to provide immediate assistance E.g. blankets, money for clothing, food, lodging and longer term counseling for getting their lives back in order. 

Vacations, dinners, nice clothes, gifts for the wife, sports for the kids, nights out with the boys etc....and for this reason, i would rather buy mortgage  points as a way to reduce my payment rather than make a larger down payment for my home.  

Trying to figure out how to be a good investor agent.I was an Army aviator for 4 years, flew Cobras until a downsizing of the force put me back in civilian clothes.

Kids toys everywhere, clothes strewn everywhere.

Who wants to live in a nice house where you can't have a pool/water a lawn/take showers/wash clothes/Etc?

Anyways, I am looking for advice and asking those who have more experience and knowledge than myself.The property in question (located in SW Michigan) is quite distressed, missing walls, probable termite damage, damp/soft flooring, and probably many other issues. 

I listen to the podcast when I'm driving, cooking dinner, cleaning, folding laundry, and putting away clothes. 

You know those new TSA Advanced Imaging Scanners that let you see women without their clothes on?

I am reminded that the Phoenixville code inspectors -- who come around each year -- look askance at the use of portable space heaters by tenants -- mostly bc of the dangers of tipping, damage to cords, and fire hazard from folks trying to dry damp clothing on them.
