My question to you would be are you planing on staying in Ames after graduation?

This is a little scary since I can’t readily drive to the property but instead have to take a plane or drive more than 4 hours to help where necessary with out of state tenants.

The highway down from Phoenix through Lukeville and Sonoyta is good, and well travelled.The only real drawback is that while there is an airport there waiting for good sized commercial planes, there is not yet a reliable commercial schedule.  

I am currently working to close on a property using an FHA loan but since the property is partially in a flood plane, if there are other types of owner occupied  loans with similar down payments and rates I would like to go that route to avoid paying FEMA flood insurance. 

And planing to turn my primary home in Orlando into part of the portfolio one day.

My wife and I frequently hop on a plane last minute and use any gaps. 

He said it's not that hard, but someone has to get on a plane to visit the other person no less than once a month.  

After 911, I think everyone on the plane would tackle the guy and stop the threat.

So I Grabbed the deed before it got fedexed, jumped on the plane to GA first thing in the morning, picked up Mom and headed to a local title co. to close the deal.

Whether it is a dollar amount, a state of mind, the ability to pursue one's hobbies, the chance to sit in a chase lounge in an RV park all day, or to travel the world and not worry what the plane or hotel costs, we all have our own dreams.
