, and while sorting through the toy dumpster behind Toys R Us, I contemplated that at $350k I likely hold the distinction of being the highest net worth individual to ever stand in that dumpster.

I figured it was about time I get around to introducing myself to the forum and start actually participating in conversations.My wife and I have lived in Baton Rouge for five years now, and we really like it and see ourselves here for the long haul.  

If you're planning to hold this property for the long haul I would listen to @JD Martin and go with vinyl or wood flooring.

I get wholesale emails all the time advertising as "located in the Promis Zone" so it could be a good area if you're in it for the long haul. 

She said it could probably work for our flight crew rental model BUT that the house is in the rough pocket of Jefferson Park, so we'd need to be in it for the long haul to see appreciation.  

To properly cash flow in CA, you should be looking for 1.5% or better from a monthly rent to acquisition+initial repair costs inorder to cash flow over the long haul.

Cool.It does cost me an extra $50.00/month, but I hate hauling off furniture.

The payoff will be long term, so I’d need need a special kind of broker in it for the long haul and a forward thinker.I will be continuously marketing for people who want to buy a house soon but don't qualify for a mortgage at the moment (as far as they know).

Even went so far as to kicking my child’s toys into middle of road one day when spraying for weeds.

We have certain areas (toy towns) in Memphis that absolutely make for a solid and sound investment.
