Mentally it helps keep you on track and gets the next one paid off faster and it will be a series of small victories that will snowball on its self and create its one sense of momentum.

I think I can boost rents by $500 with nice kitchens / baths.Link to current layout: http://imgur.com/vMq5DGcCurrent photos: http://imgur.com/a/vpxEkAs you can see, both bathrooms are in sorry shape. 

I've been living here in the south since I was 18,  now 42 years young.I still have the NY Northern mentality 100 miles an hour.If you have any questions send them to me.

If I rent out the other two rooms, I can come out of it decently, but where I am looking to live differs a lot from 'good investments' and areas that could provide the best cashflow.The mentality of living in my first investment sounds great, but when is it really not that great of an idea?

Also adding a basic website to compliment your direct mail campaign could be a good/cheap way to boost your exposure.

, the regular ones for normal people are getting boost up, the regular ones you paid 250 max with almost everything couple years ago are in 450-550 now!!!...

Also, (might catch a little bit of heat for this) since stumbling upon Rich Dad Poor Dad, my mentality and future goals have completely changed.

Im usually physically and mentally drained by the time i get home.

There are a lot of choices for you and a lot of it will depend on what your goals are and your budget.Westcheater is a great neighborhood that is currently seeing a boost from the tech industry moving in right next door in Playa Vista.

These last few weeks have really helped me realize that I am financially and mentally ready to pursue my goals full time.
