Residential can be cash cows if managed correctly.

Most young girls liked Vogue, my favorite magazines as a child--I kid you not hahaha--were: Architectural Digest, New Homes Guide and Apartment Guide.I'm currently enrolled in an online course with The CE Shop to receive my salesperson license in DC.

Horses, cows, donkeys, are all more dangerous than a pitbull.

They are all cash flow-cows.  

The sellers' attorneys sat on it for 6 weeks and instead of showing it to us as soon as they got it, they waited until we had bank approval and were ready to close the deal, giving us barely enough time to digest the ramifications of all this.

I am going to have to digest this is a bit.

No mortgage, and made it into a 7 bedroom 3 bath cash cow!

I will re-read it later tonight and digest it all and likely have some more questions for you and others.

In our market it was a Cash Cow and totally worth it.

. - thanks Ian- lots of information to digest between all of these posts, and as you say, there isn't necessarily one "right" way to look at finances- it has to do with each person's beliefs regarding money, risk tolerance, and overall financial education as well.It's also good to hear when things aren't going so well, because even though it's a bummer, it's part of any type of investing, and I think failures are great teaching tools, plus it keeps us humble and constantly seeking knowledge on our investing journey.Thanks for your feedback!
