Many of the students I teach have never rock climbed or gone on a hike so it is very rewarding to see them succeed and enjoy new things.I don't make a whole lot (only 2nd year teaching in a private school) so I decided to purchase my first property as soon as I could. 

Climb the corporate ladder and give half your money to the government.Step 3.

I hesitate because the value just keeps climbing.

You now have to take the first tenant that knocks on the door or be sued by the city, they have imposed a "rich man's tax on people who are successful", if you solicit someone who is in foreclosure or *thinks* they may end up in foreclosure it is a "criminal act" and you could find yourself in court, they have reduced the number of automobile lanes to accommodate having more bicycle lanes (Seattle is *hills*, do you know how long it takes a bicycle to climb 1st hill in the rain in friday night traffic?

I worked 5am to 5pm outdoors for years until climbing higher into the company.

My market is steadily climbing with quality renters so I'm not too concerned about getting new tenants in after the vacancy happens but what I am worried about is the damage done to the newly renovated property and ensuing parties late at night to cause my life a living hell leading up to the end of lease. 

And i will agree to eventual reordering of economic strata including paper money, how we work, who will own the robots that do all the labor etc.Near term our country (and money) is simply less bad (less debt) than all other major economies, which will add support to the dollar in the actionable future.More likely is all the debt will act to curb economic growth, kinda like a train going uphill, more debt increases the pith of the hill we have to climb and ultimately reaches a point where we cannot move ahead at all.Thats when the big war starts

For me,  I can't imagine wishing I had made one more deal over wishing I had spent more time with my family or wishing I had seen Kilimanjaro.My Dad climbed it a couple years ago.

The guy (one of the sellers) mentions how he would love to invest in rentals but doesn't have the money (you know the story.)We go out after closing where I paid cash for the house while he climbs into his new truck.
