Not everyone has it all figured out, but I think the important thing is to continue to learn and work towards you goals even if it's baby steps.

We have a huge bubble of "baby boomers" starting to retire and the country does not have the money to pay for their entitlements.

But I am a Baby in commercial.

I picked up my wife and our third baby ( under four years old) at the hospital!

So naturally investors are looking into other markets like real estate as alternate investments.With baby boomers retiring and moving out of their homes for a variety of reasons, this will actually help support the supply of new homes to the market in a gradual way.

In conclusion, I don't want this thread to become"Drill baby Drill" versus "No Fracking Way"Also, Please cite the "bust" town you refer to.

Turn that baby in after 3 years and get the latest electric vehicle that's in vogue.

In July I bought a SFR for another client - it was $53K, but very good area and possible to flip or to rent - both will make good numbers.Rent will be $1400/mo, flip will yield at least $50K ($145-160K ARV) depends on the finishes.It won't be 20% ROI on rent but it's B neighborhood and very desirable area for baby boomers to live on retirement.

I just got married last year and now have a baby.

Then the following month I hit a pothole and had to get new tires haha, all this while trying to save up for a baby on the way.Now that he's been born and everything's paid off it's worth it, but it really did make me question things at the time.
