Or try to find a financial partner for the long haul?

Also, fun fact, I found this link in the toys & games section, same place you'd find monopoly cash (4).Why is all of this important? 

I recommend getting a wheelbarrow to haul loads outside.

Back before the housing crash people were taking money out of their houses left and right to buy toys (i.e. boats, jetskis, etc) and that came back to bite a lot of people who ended up underwater on their homes with not much to show for it. 

Then you have to have the discipline to really block out all the marketing, social draws, tools, toys, etc that threaten to take your $20k-$25k away.If you successfully save the $25k, it will still take you ten years to save $250k.

At least try to see what she or her sister can afford to have you move.Now I am self insure myself.. so in oregon I if the home is abandoned i simply go in and haul every thing to the dump...

I am toying with the idea of investing in Galveston; but want to build knowledge first.Thanks!

They are charging me $500 to haul away 2 gallons of fuel oil and sludge.
