Prepare to invest for the long haul in PL.

If your goal is to hold the homes for the long haul and cash out eventually then the numbers may work.

Cost $700 to have it dug up and hauled off.

I'd want a toy with a price tag of $5, and my father would hand me a quarter, saying "if you want it that much, go convince them to sell it to you for twenty-five cents".

Tenant has 1 year old baby and wants me to put a lid to close toilet so baby cant put toys there.

In my opinion, toying with expenses is the easiest way to "trick" yourself into a deal.

Then I looked this deal up in the MLS and used my business acumen, "Getting to Yes" and "Never Split the Difference" skills to negotiate this deal!

Logic tells us it cannot continue like this, but 60 years of history tells us that over the long haul it will have outstanding appreciation and rent growth.  

The key here is keeping the builder unblocked.Completed since Week 11: Yard lines and sewer lines complete Tile complete Decks complete Doors and trim delivered and started Electrical fixtures ordered Gas lines ordered Trash hauled off

We're definitely starting to edge towards locally now.And thanks for the girlfriend advice :) Although we were just engaged over the weekend so we're in it for the long haul.
