Ironically this came across as even more of a red flag of this potential tenant (If you would have paid more, but the landlord still chose not to rent to you then what else is there about you that I'm missing that made you not be the "Chosen One"?)

Many in the FIRE crowd can't get past the employee mentality in life.What I also find ironic about FIRE is some of the early pioneers of FIRE actually make more money in retirement from their blogs, website or podcast.

First Solar Inc. said it will invest $680 million to build a third factory in the Toledo area by 2023, doubling its production capacity and creating 500 jobs.Officials praise $1 billion iron plant.

Sounds great although the location is a little ironic considering this proposed new CA Bill that imposes a 25% tax on gains if an investment property is sold within three years.Assembly bill would tax house flippers, those who sell homes a few years after buying

The property, ironically, appears to have been sold to a dentist.2.

Ironically they offered me a job as well! 

The technology is pretty much ironed out and bulletproof by now. 

I'd be looking at discounted homes built after 1960s to make any money and would have to be 60% of value which I just don't think exists anywhere right now at scale. not 100 year old homes boarded up with knob and tube wiring, old HVAC, cast iron plumbing, etc. might as well build. a house @Robert Ellis Can you post a link to the houses you are building for $120K all in?

And yes I will still have to get alot of this stuff ironed out I guess I haven't found one that I can feel comfortable with.

I always have a iron clad reason, I accept the most qualified.I have a priority list of requirements.
