I noticed this instantly during my first visit in December.

What that means, is I prefer a great cup, but will also drink the sludge from the day before warmed up in the microwave or instant if I have to!

And from the tone, it sounds like, if you found that out, even if he was a model land lord, you'd suddenly feel slighted and instantly become a tenant where one wonders what you were taught about operating in a "man's world"  My point, don't assume.  

You can sell it and make 100k profit instantly, and this is the worst case scenario, If you live in Brooklyn you will not find those kind of deals and you know it, maybe a 10k discount on a 500k property if you are lucky, take it fast fast fast.

Any sort of bills - food, living expenses, medical, insurance, transportation etc will eat that up instantly.

At the very least your 401k money is making an instant return equal to your highest tax bracket because the taxes were never removed.

Now, even poor people are fat, waste food, have the internet, have a car, have Air Conditioning, live in bigger houses, everybody has access to electricity, gas is relatively cheap, we have an Over Supply of Oil, roads are relatively well kept, tires last longer, instead of a car going 100,000 miles they go 300,000 miles, clothing is almost free at 2nd hand stores, bundles of clothes are shipped over seas because they can't be sold here, everybody has a gadget that fits in their pocket that gives them instant access to anybody in the world by entering a phone number or email address or URL, can play 1,000s of songs, and has far more compute power than what it took to put men on the moon. 

@Ray Harrell, I wouldn't touch credit cards at 24% unless you have a gun to your head and 100K this instant is your only option. 

That movie instantly cured me of EVER being a landlord.  ;-)

Now you are an instant millionaire. 5 properties could easily get you a net worth of $1M or more, and you can live off that rental income.
