I would need to dig 3-6 feet to make a p trap for shower and for the toilet.

Given the lingering financial impact of COVID and current economic conditions it seems a very worthwhile thing to learn about for later investment and will likely form the bulk of my near-term purchases following these first ones, and may well be my predominate activity throughout 2023.International Investment:The idea of liquidating all personal and business assets whilst keeping my 4/2 sharehouse in Aus and househacking a small cash-bought SF in Maine is an appealing option, after all income/expenses/allocations however it would negatively cash flow $2.50/week assuming a stable currency rate.Though principal paydown is a valuable wealth-building tool, my desire for cash flow in addition to a lot of trapped equity in Australia's fairly rigid/monopolistic/regulated financial market (and an unavoidable double-taxed hit on eventual sale[4.ii] for which i'd not utilize a 1031 exchange[4.iii]) makes this an unattractive option.4.i - USDA loan qualifying region map (https://eligibility.sc.egov.us...)4.ii - Foreign Earned Income Exclusion (FEIE) thresholds (https://www.americansabroad.or...)4.iii - Challenges with international 1031 exchanges (https://atlas1031.com/exchange...)If you've read this far, thanks so much for your attention.

Setting the Bull Trapby Bennet Sedacca Bull Trap: A false signal indicating that a declining trend in a stock or index has reversed and is heading upwards when, in fact, the security will continue to decline.

@Troy Sheets - the toilet bowl that kept clogging was broken open to see what was lurking in the trap.

With regular annual inspections including scheduled spraying for prevention of insects/bed bugs as a former employee of a broker and as a tenant my observation shows 10 years is about the maximum.Personally, in my opinion carpet is highly unhygienic, attracts odors and has a short life compared to hard surfaced floors and it amazes me that it has taken so many years for the trend to switch reflected in more apartment complexes featuring hardwood (I'm in Reno, NV where there has been a surge of bed bugs so this may be a big part of the switch-regular preventive fumigation in addition to that for prior to move-ins and outs is common too.)

I couldn’t imagine the terror of being trapped in a burning car as onlookers desperately try to save you by opening the doors to no avail .

When that happens the smog is then trapped in the valley surrounded by tall mountains and gets so thick that you can't see a half mile as opposed to the dozens I can see today.

I also noted a nearby property was up for sale recently at $970k when I looked up the sales history on zillow it was last sold in 2007 for $940k so lots of possible traps for average joe investor around here.

If you aren’t happy doing what you’re doing, then change paths before you are encumbered by the trappings of life.

In this market an investor could pick up 3 "rent ready properties".. and fall into the trap that hurt people.
