I think one way or another you should figure out how to keep him as a tenant, if possible, or as a handyman.He sounds like he'd be a perfect on-site manager for a mobile home park or apartment building or camp site, etc. 

Couple of the pros and cons of paying off early (this is the camp I'm in) which may have been brought up but I haven't read all 3 pages.

We do more camping than going to the beach.Oh, and without being political we're more aligned with the traditional thinking of Texas on that end of things...red state Texas that is...   

I recommend NOT signing up for any classes, boot camps, masterminds, until you get further down the road and meet some other investors and figure out where you want to go.  

Camp Grounds?

I'm in the same camp as @Kevin Powell on this one.

My interests are cooking, astronomy, fishing, hiking, camping, biking, model rocketry, just to name a few.I'm excited about starting this chapter in my life and I look forward to networking and contributing to the BP nation.

We fall into the camp of over rehabbing our rentals.  1)  We generally try to buy and hold. 

Then when it moves on to the hard sell stage they are so used to saying yes they grab their checkbook or credit card and run to the back to sign up for the "boot camp"

To me it sounds like a guru boot camp program but wanted to hear your opinions.http://dayton.craigslist.org/rej/4524179150.htmlhttp://columbus.craigslist.org/rej/4609471252.htmlhttp://dayton.craigslist.org/rej/4524179150.html
