And if there's money left over the fancy cars and toys will follow:) but not before then!

These alone prevent midnight "my toilet is plugged up calls" a.Landlord informs the Tenant that the sewer system of the Premises is not designed to accept many types of items, included but not limited to, paper diapers, sanitary napkins, tampons, and children’s toys, balls of hair, grease, oil, table scraps, clothing, rags, sand, dirt, rocks or newspaper.

Then and only then can you start to make decisions on how to fix it...if you even have to.  Yes

I am a big fan of the book getting to yes, and showing them some data on how they are not comparing apples to apples would be useful.

I agree real estate will be a better investment, but some kind of retirement account may be beneficial so you don't have all your eggs in one basket, and will be a nice bonus when you "retire".Now with all that being said, I have also toyed around with the idea of liquidating my Roth 401k. 

I like that little sport amphib that just came out.. same one Roy Halliday messed up in.. they are built in Davis CA.. and they do their test flying over at Lake Berryessa.. have to wait till they hit the used market and their first round of depreciation.. new I think they are 250k and that's a tad rich for a toy.

I have been toying a lot lately with the idea of purchasing a house in Denver and airbnb’ing half to either offset my mortgage or at the very least reduce my cost of living.I stumbled across Loftium, which is essentially a company that pitches reduced rent in great areas, but as the tenant, you are responsible for managing an on-site Airbnb.

@Adam Craig to "yes and" what @Jason DiClemente said, with your deal volume which can establish a pattern of track record under certain conditions/approaches, lessons learned, strong relationships that give you an edge with sourcing or value-add...making a case should be very doable for you to private money investors. 

I’ve been toying back and forth, but I may make my first move on an FHA 3 or 4 unit.

And that your insurance  surely covers the kind of recreational toys you provide.
