@Ned CareyOkay, so you have seen many people WIN and many people lose?

On a smaller scale, just call a local broker (better: call all top players, hopefully there are 3-5) and tell them you have 7 properties that you want to place in their rental program, and want details on how their rental management operation works.

I’ve looked up stocks and bonds but no direct information about how to invest properly without losing money?

It's a con as far as I'm concerned, with the majority of players having zero knowledge they are part of it. 

I just listened to a BP podcast with an NFL player.

I calculated roughly sending 800-900 per month after all expenses such as all utilities, PITI, repairs, etc.Is it worth losing a little money each month to live in a nice house that we actually own as opposed to renting?

Unfortunately our rural towns have been dying since the 50s/60s - which is sad as there are lots of cool and fascinating places - but it all happens slowly - first a large employer leaves, or maybe there's a farming crisis, tax revenue decreases, then folks with younger kids move away or the younger kids grow up then they immediately leave then never come back, then the schools start to die, then the schools close, then no one wants to live there, then the local hospitals or clinics lose fed or state funds then they close, their workers leave etc. 

My fear is I go over the 2 month period and I start losing money.Potential solutions: 1.
