But I wouldn't change a thing, this is the best place to raise kids ( IMHO) and now that my baby is almost out of high school ..hmmmmmm For the REI, well, I love investing here in MO.

johnmichael: We are taking baby stepsjohnmichael: Inside The Box thinking means accepting the status quo.

Snake it out and bring up a kid's doll baby, that's on them, kitchen sink stopped up because they're pouring grease down it, that's on them.My lease also spelled out that ANY REPAIRS not authorized in advance were on them.

HD was about 55%-65% higher on those babies, and I was doing a LOT of nailing.Good luck.all cash

It's all about the Benjamins baby.

Now for my problem - how to decide if I should just stick to taking the baby step of the leapfrog or go ahead and stick my neck out and buy the second property?

Thanks guys, I managed to get some stress out tonight, I sold my baby (car), sporty Eagle Talon AWD Turbo:( Im going to miss it, but its time to move to Edmonton soon and need money, I cant belive I sold it and got good money..

Then slam EVERY NICKEL in rent onto that payment, get a part time job etc. to build up some equity.Basically this is how many of us baby boomers did it.

ATX baby!!!

It's your baby now, congrats and good luck with the flip!
