The problem in school is the poor way they teach basic math, Algebra, and Geometry. 

I have had good luck with Millbury National Bank, they are pretty old school and if they like your deal they will most likely lend at 15% down.

As an active cyclist and triathlete, I am looking at places that are cycling and outdoor sports destinations to cater a rental to athletes.

My wife and I run collegiately and can potentially get schooling and living expenses (such as housing) paid for with a sports scholarship.

It's in a Class A suburb (great schools, low crime) and has appreciated but I feel that property taxes are a big high relative to home value.

I enjoy your perspective and purpose-driven attitude, there is no substitute for hard work over an extended period of time.As relates to this topic, protecting my guys (many of them pro athletes) is important to me. 

Also I was home alone during the kids school hours as I worked from home and my office was to the side of the kitchen.

@Adam Peralto More & more owners are posting here on BP about their rentals sitting vacant too long.Which means owners aren't paying attention to the rental market - which is slowing, causing Days On Market (DOM) to increase:(Take a look at the graph below from ShowMojo, comparing average DOM for 2018-2024.DOM are now about 40% longer than they were 2 years ago.Many owners also don't seem to be aware of real estate market fundamentals, such as seasonal effects:1) After September, when kids go back to school, there's a noticeable dip in activity in both the sales & rentals.2) After Halloween, there's another noticeable dip.

It's good to dial up a plan and there are many former athletes crushing it in real estate right now.

It's like free REI school and it's gets easier once you do it.
