It's then still a great time to continue your long-term approach to sustainable investing.

I'm going to try to freelance and make some money while traveling to make this as sustainable as possible for a long period of time (probably to Chiang Mai or Australia first).

The concern is not about being able to get the property with a small Down payment, the bigger concern is going to be being able to finance it and sustain it.

We can look to the Schiff's and Kiyosakis with their statements about what is old being sustainable, gold/silver/land, it seems foolish to assume we go back to anything like we've had, the world is changing.

But you need something you like doing, otherwise you won't be able to sustain it.

So, naturally, prices got bid up, with a LARGE proportion of buyers being out-state VALUING based on out-state market's, NOT what OH market fundamentals and sustainability is. 

Your old property is both performing well and can sustain the added debt load of a refinance.2.

I would prefer to pay the LLC rent, (which would make the business self-sustaining), and take periodic disbursements from the LLC when there is surplus cash not needed for reserves or other purposes.Does anyone have any experience / thoughts on this type of a structure?

Davis: There are 3 types of lenders in this market: The lender that's still open, the lender that's restructuring (good luck closing on time), and the lender that is completely out of business... almost every big bank now has to sustain their opex becaue they have so much unrealized loss from the gov. action to increase rate LOLI can't blame them though.

To me, that means healthy, sustainable growth with plenty of opportunity to find qualified renters for buy and hold.
