Your place reads dark with all of the ceiling wood- I don't think you had professional photos taken indoors?

We cringe when we see people who model assets through rose colored glasses especially when they have little money.As you mention leverage can be your friend but you also need to make sure you have considerable amount of cash to cover the types of expenses etc you mention.
