There's plenty of variables involved, the biggest one being my wife is about to have our 1st baby any day now!

:@Steven CoppolaNo only will it not die but it will increase . 80 million millennials assure that and 80 million baby boomers dying and also giving up their family home for downsizing reasons and health reasons .

Also, the pay and rate of success is a lot higher than most who try to retire in their 20s.Let me share an example of a "Why" that provides motivation looks like....I started real estate investing in my early 30s because I realized that most Baby Boomers are going to have problems living longer on lower incomes.

CCC, Baby! 

But, the generations after the Baby Boomers don't have any money to buy homes with.

On top of that, what if all of a sudden you need a new roof, or windows, or a sewer line, or the irrigation system freezes, leaks and floods the basement, or a fire guts the place and your insurance only covers some of the vacancy/rebuild costs, or a flood washes it away and you didn't have flood insurance, or your tenant stops paying and their estranged lover/stiffed drug dealer breaks in and destroys the place, or any one of a myriad possible bad things happens because you have an investment that hinges upon human behavior, and therefor needs constant baby sitting, and 5 years of your glorious $500/month is wiped out in one afternoon, and the bank takes the property?

I did contact one lender about getting a 2nd FHA loan which is typically not allowed, however we had a baby and acquired a 5 year old since we moved here.

Its a great town and from my understanding, long time baby boomers who are fed up with Vancouver high taxes and cost of living are selling there houses and buying acreage in chillowack. 

I'm too busy to baby sit my 4k leads going out each month to determine if my SMSs are no longer going through?
