Personal goals: Spend quality time with 14 year old daughter, exercise regularly, continue to personalize and enjoy the beautiful home we bought this year, spend time at vacation home (when we are not renting it out!)

Well, living rent free in one of my Investment Properties eliminated that expense.Living in NYC and getting older, you realize that exercise is an important thing.

I do not view exercise for the sake of exercise as being a normal or required activity however given present day societies pension for electronic toys (all thing done on a couch by internet) and avoidance of having to participate in such activities as shopping it is possible that exercise solely for the sake of exercise may be necessary.  

Or if there's enough for cash flow, just as gracefully staying in until the option is exercised or finding another tenant-buyer if it's not.

Should I keep my license just to have this accomplishment when not exercising it?

I think BRRRR is the key here.Finally, ever since i had my daughter, i've had VERY minimal exercise.

Seattle is one of the 21 cities where renters represents at least half the total population living in households.They could vote to live for free for the rest of their lives if they wanted to.Seattle landlords--your customers are exercising their political power (or it's being exercised for them by those in power for their own purposes).The people in Seattle's government have made it into an "Illegal" sanctuary city set on harboring have-nots from other countries.When the Have-nots outnumber the Haves things like this happen.Then when things like this happen and the area's turn into slums due to inadequate cash flow, they will further plague landlords calling them slumlords and cracking down on them.This just seems like part of a much bigger political issue (and possibly a way to make their sanctuary city more attractive to who they want to draw there to live).

What a futile exercise.

I still feel great at my age that I can exercise and my cardio is great.

Here is a quick exercise you could do.
