I wonder how long the market can sustain that...

I already had proven a solid track record of sustainable income while doing the business part-time, and it was very clear to everybody around me (parents, college advisers) that my time was better spent pursuing that business full-time than to finish my last 3 years of college (where best case was probably getting a job making less than I was already making part-time).

But if you could, and you can sustain it (about $1100/month, by my calculation) this looks reasonable to me.You'll really have to look at expenses, though.

Try Quatro Electronics, they have wireless PIR's and use a cellular modem that sends 20 second video clips directley to a central station, it's battery powered too so it's self sustaining with over a 2 year battery life (with alerts when battery gets low)

If you are looking for multifamily in LA area using FHA, look for duplex only, 3 and 4 unit properties more than likely will not qualify as they will not pass the self sustaining test.

If you do these three things, sustainable profits will follow.

Basically replace myself with a self sustaining system of its own.

It just doesn't seem sustainable.

Keep Austin Weird -- or "Keep Austin Small" as it used to be -- is no longer sustainable.

I figure if they were asked that, they would indirectly wind up saying that some of bush's programs that he started are worthy of keeping, therefore we must raise taxes to sustain them.
