@Paul Slaght welcome and be careful up there in Junction - if the new president decides to make major military cuts or we get in a new war etc with your proximity to Ft Riley the rentals up there could be cyclical.  

@Renee Burke  In my opinion, if you can live it it, that is always a great option.

If Republicans keep the Senate (more likely than not, IMO) and Dems hold the House (very likely, IMO) then as usual no matter who wins the Presidency we will see political gridlock, blaming and nonsense from both sides, as usual. 

Unfortunately our governor is more concerned about his legacy than good policy, wanting to have a surplus of funds (should he decide to run for President).

The President is a visionary and a leader, generals are leaders.

I'm the President of a company called that sets up Checbook controlled IRAs and Solo 401K's - plus have a variety of products and investment opportunities that help people protect their retirement savings and investments through complete self management.

If living off RE is the end game, then your RE needs to grow to the point of generating enough cash flow to pay obligations, maintenance, capital expense, your living expense, and general life reserves.

Then there's this: Vice President Asia - M&A, Product Development, In-house Counsel Tax and Corporate StructuringCompany NameBear StearnsDates Employed2001 – 2008 Employment Duration7 yrsLocationHong KongAcquisition and Amalgamation of Target Companies for IPO and Back door listingsPrivate Placement Strategies - Financial grooming and reconstruction of balance sheets for clients, take-overs and mergersDesign and Management of Sophisticated Financial Products, investments and MortgagesCorporate Structuring and Tax ManagementIn house Counsel - principally tax and business organizationTraining and Development of key personnel, agents and advisorsRemuneration Planning*****So in case any of you lost your asses in the last global financial meltdown, you can probably partially thank this guy and his "financial grooming and reconstruction of balance sheets".  

She was paid for 2 presidents ago..There isn't much Tracy can't do..EXCEPT take your wife to dinner or any wheres for that matter.

@Renee Anders I would suggest having a local "professional" real estate salesperson look at the house and get their take on what it will take to get the highest price.
