I have a 401k, IRA, and pension in place to help me achieve retirement quicker, however I definitely feel the squeeze on a daily basis and always feel like I'm living paycheck to paycheck.

Unfortunately, over the 11 months he has lived there, he has only managed to pay the rent on time once.

Where do you live?

His answer: "He is living vicariously thru this journey of mine".I hope you and everyone new find their real mentor.

My plan is to sell my primary home in New York and purchase a house to live in South Carolina.

I’ve been around real estate for decades, and I read in The Economist once that in lively markets like Charlotte, folks will pay a premium for a comfortable room if you’re near major employers.A friend of mine tried something similar out in Austin a while back.. he’d inherited a 4-bedroom property and split it into individual room rentals.

Even if all the numbers pencil out, if no one wants to live there, I'm going to have a hard time making the numbers work, whether I'm selling a flip or renting out a property. 

I really trusted my agent and knew several people who had invested in Reno so I took the leap after trying and failing for years to buy my own home in really high cost cities where I lived (NYC, DC, SF Bay area). 

I live in California and they are looking for any way they can drop your insurance. 

I assume you’ve got a loan that says you will be living there.
