Even if your timeline is only 5 years why deny yourself the power of leverage.You know the old saying: The best time to plant a tree is thirty years ago.

It's really all there and has been forever, as far as we are concerned.The Bible teaches over and over about planting seeds, raising and harvesting, pulling weeds, taking the impure and burning it and all that remains is what is pure.

In fact, I wish that 3 trillion dollars was spent keeping Americans alive...instead it was used to start a war that W thought could be ended in a year (remember "Mission Accomplished") but other GOP leaders now think will last 100 years or more...If W hadn't been so focused on his personal vendetta, he may have noticed that Iran was building multiple nuclear plants...clearly, if the newly revealed plant is almost complete, it's been under construction for several years now.Too bad W didn't bother to notice it, and now Obama needs to deal with it once it's almost complete...

If you turned left at corner, see small corner pasture, 50 tree fruit orchard (wifey and I planted ALL 50) AND did Deer wire all around it, and then our pond/lake we developed with an Island in the center and then more pastures and trees.

I worked in manufacturing plants in my adult life.

My idea being, it creates more of an attachment to a rental because the tenant may have a long term committment to be there to plant, care or harvest there garden.

I planted a 50 tree fruit orchard, purchased 10 steers, and put in a a stream fed pond of nearly 2 acres with island and Dock.

I currently own and manage 3 rental properties that are bringing me about 1000/month for all 3 rentals along with having a full-time job in our local chemical plant.

@Vincent Plant My 2 cents would be to take @Ross Denman advice and leverage that cash.

That plant has been such a rollercoaster for the city's morale.
