Hello mound of concrete to haul up the stairs.

Appreciation will not save you over the long haul, look at the situation in the present.

We all think the way we invest is how everyone else should, but your goals and needs are different than anyone else's so decide what works for you.I'd also suggest going out to some meetups and reias so toy can meet some local investors to find out what's working in your local area (which is pretty close to mine)

Hi @Shannon Toye,Answers;1.)  

Do I need to get someone to jack-hammer it out and haul off the old floor?

For instance, at 1 maybe we flip houses, at 2 we invest in multifamily for cashflow, and at 3 we start looking at tax strategies as ways to structure our wealth to preserve it for the long haul.

On jobs we usually have a dumpster , but after its gone there is always something to haul .

In twenty minutes they will start hauling all of your stuff to the curb. 

I have one rental in Louisiana and when we got flooded... the rental lease is not in effect anymore as the house is not live able.... it's a pain if u don't have insurance.... if ur renters are good for it.... at least ask them to take out their stuff in the curb... a lot of renters just here just left.... and landlords has to do all the hauling away of their thrash too...On the gentle note.... pls be cautious when talking with renters... pls be kind and understandable that they too lost a lot of their possessions aside from the fact that they might not have a house to rent as housing demand will be very high....

I think for the long haul you want to be looking at something that's over $100k & brings in $675+ per unit.
