This thread is literally a danger zone for incorrect information to be shared I will say to clarify the miles/auto expenseDriving from your home to your rentals ONLY gets to count if you have a dedicated home office.

For example this page on CBRE's web site is dedicated to Denver Data.

Takes a lot of hard work and dedication to get on top.

I can certainly appreciate your position there, your dedication to your frugality to make it work is intense work in and of itself.

Yup-- I know all about the wonderful salaries beginning architects and architectural interns make, and the long hours (deadlines, last minute changes and dedication to great design- no matter how little you end up making, ha, ha!

In another post, I decided to call 8 local lenders (3 banks, 3 credit unions and 2 dedicated lenders) about the due on sale clause.

This is where I really get things done and I dedicate a lot of this time to big ticket items and education (both W2 and investing).

But nothing amazing or great happens without hard work and dedication to just ask the sellers.

However, having done some event planning in the past, I'm quite certain that I don't have the time to dedicate to a project like that at the moment, as both my wife and I work full time.Had I moved in during the summertime, I would have loved to host some sort of event on the little island.

Now how big of a fish, how much time you're will to dedicate, thats completely up to you.
