Do not begin drinking heavily, keep your nose to the grindstone and find some type of work doing something.

Some may be right under your nose (hint-hint, and no, not referring to self)....

If investment - proceed to Step 2.Step 2: since it's an investment, it's a capital gain, no SE tax, and 1031 is available.

My accountant is spectacular, far more advanced than I need and I pay through the nose for him, but he has saved me an unbelievable amount.

Often a line of credit is not the best vehicle as nose bleed rates that non-owner occupied LOC command. 

Am I biting my nose off to spite my face here?

Period.Anyone can find and fix and even sell you a house these days.Not many can manage them well and honestly.So for all of you worrying about me or any other leader in the turnkey industry getting hit by a bus.It doesn't really matter if we do as long as there is a solid property management team in place with professional staff that can continue looking after your investments.The biggest and best turnkey companies in the country (We are still a tiny fish and no where near as sophisticated as some) have full blown departments with leadership roles and detailed processes, systems and manuals that probably work better when the founders and owners don't even get involved.This is something that we are striving for also.So for the time being, you will still see me poking my Dingo nose in everyone's business.I'll leave you with this:Have no fear, because my team is here.

I’ve tried eating 1x a day for 1 year (Not healthy for me) and various water fasting protocols to eventually settling on my current lifestyle of: 1)Taking stairs daily 2)Intermittent fasting of 16 hours daily/ 3-4 Day water fasts Quarterly3)Mineral consumption daily using Fulvic Acid, Icelandic Kelp, a powdered Electrolyte to regular water, Spring Water (Minerals are ESSENTIAL to hydration) 4)Daily Fruit consumption 5)Grass Fed, Grass finished Beef 6)Minimal Fried foods (I still LOVE French fries) 7)No seed oils (only Tallow, butter and/or avocado oil) 8)Cut back on white flour and grains (Minimal breads, pastry, pasta) 9)No soda 10)No dairy (Cow’s milk is for baby calfs)11)Minimal alcohol (Maybe Vodka or Tequila RARELY) 12)At lease 7 hours of sleep daily13)No watching CNN, MSNBC, NY TImes, Washington Post, NPR or ABC, NBC, CBS…………….

You are bidding in the blind based on what you can see from the outside of the house, and (if vacant) what you can see sticking you nose up against a window (usually).  

Find a different market that will work.Second, as far as investing with negative CF, the answer is "no".  See
