I spend my down time serving others through our local ministries and enjoying my family of 5kids and my wife.

Many college kids such as my friends and I did this, except we simply shared rent in a house that our church campus ministry owned.If you want ownership, odds are someone like your parent(s) will have to co-sign the loan for you. 

Depending on what list you look at, DC sits at either number 3, 4, or 5 as the most expensive.Furthermore, we (my family and I) do ministry in the Georgetown community (the 20007 zip code), which is one of the most expensive neighborhoods in one of the most expensive cities.Average rent for a 2-bedroom home is around $3,500.

Purchased to rent to a recovery ministry.

At 67 years of age and the desire to take my Bible ministry overseas, I'm reluctant to proceed in ways that would keep me here.

Ways to increase collections in the coming months were discussed.The finance ministry said on Monday, gross direct tax collections (before paying income tax refunds) during April-December of 2013-14 were up 12.3 per cent at Rs 4.8 lakh crore, against Rs 4.3 lakh crore in the same period of 2012-13.

Alternatively (and what i'm currently trying) is to rent the units furnished for $850/mo. to internationals and out of state students (which are drawn to Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry) for 9mo. leases and then listing the units on AirBnB.com for the summer months...? 

Intelligent, yes, more than most.GJ, good for you, I agree, actually you and I may not be as far apart as you think, I'm more open minded, probably more accepting of other's views but that doesn't mean the some of the core views are far apart, I'm just not extreme.I find it odd that someone would play such games on the internet and be found on a ministry site.

I own a 4600 sq. ft. house and guest house on 20 acres, within 1/4 mile to a community college, a private Christian college and a large school of ministry.

My CD business is pretty automated and is more of a self-help ministry.
