@Joseph Skates All the dumps I have gone to in Ontario that take yard waste don't throw it in the landfill.

Also, this part of the country in general (the northeast) isn't really where the growth has been or seems like it will be soon.I think the near term price trends are good so if you know the area and already own something here I'd say you would probably do well if you continue buying, but I'd also recommend keeping a close eye on the market, especially starting about 3 years from now (at years 3, 4 and 5).In particular pay attention to when prices seem high (sellers are still commanding higher prices) but days on market are increasing (they are taking longer to get those high prices) - it's like when the roller coaster starts to slow down at the top of the hill.We are shortening our time horizon for new acquisitions from planning 10 years out to thinking more like 5 at this point, just based on where things seem to be in the market cycle, and I suspect in ~3 years we'll be looking to sell under-performing assets.

Now that the market has recovered, I'm seriously considering 1031 exchanging those Antelope Valley properties to more expensive and stable markets closer to me so I don't need to ride the roller coaster back down, though I'll be fine either way.

I am always open to new ideas.Stock trading has been a roller coaster for me.

You are skating on this ice.Your name and possibly the name of your business needs to be on the notice not your mother.

There is not enough there for lender minimums, reserves, repairs, etc.I would look into private lending or investing in a private fund that focuses on real estate or real estate debt as ways to put your IRA capital to work and diversify away from the public equities roller coaster.

I've had acceptable results with a paint called Cabinet Rescue and using a Wooster micro plush roller.

This was a roller coaster off and on all the time.

Hey, this is a fun Roller Coaster!

It comes in a paint bucket and can be applied with a brush and roller or sprayed on (you need a specialty sprayer don't run it through your typical household sprayer).
