My first job was in a boatyard mixing 100 pound bags that said "ASPESTOS" on them.

@Carl Ohai unless you buy a lot of it the amount of calls you actually get will fluctuate a ton, when they are trying to sell you they give you their estimate but that is something you need to take with a pound of salt.

Or, put the "to be shredded" stuff in bags and either shred it later, or take it to a place that does shredding for offices and businesses.If you think you have a large amount (probably more than a few hundred pounds) of scrap metal in the garages and shops, and if there is a good paved driveway available, you might ask local scrap yards about getting a container delivered.

Haul lumber, pound nails, sweep and do all the junk that hired labor does.

You just have to know the areas well and pound the pavement.

My advice is to hit your sweet spot, and avoid pounding a square peg into a round hole.

I'd narrow your search to 3 or so neighborhoods then start really pounding the pavement looking for your new home.

higher fixed rate 2nd, but it's small money AND paid off in only 15 yrs, then upon last payment of 2nd mtg....BAM....your payment on 2nd goes away and you're left with just your 1st mtg. which you can then start pounding down the principle on it and pay your house off early.But all that is great, but a person under 45 trying to catch up to where they need to be for retirement  would have to be a financial moron to start knocking down a low tax deductible rate on a home loan vs  investing in IRS, 401Ks, annuities and/or start paying off non-tax deductible debts.

Remember too, that you don't want rent too low that you get undesirable tenants or too high that all tenants are priced out of it.
