I enjoyed the comments posted and your replies.I look forward to hearing reading more.Will you do podcasts (and do you have a dog like Charlie?)

I want to enjoy my retirement!

Number of beds/baths, acreage, sufficient room for parking, quality of neighborhood, signs of construction in surrounding area, and many more factors.Something I have enjoyed doing while starting out, is rather than driving around to every house on the MLS...take a quick look at the property on Google Street View and run hypothetical numbers on the projected performance of the investment.

And then you'd be surprised how much more you enjoy your day job without having that fear.One other thing I'd mention though.

But afterward.....I realized, I actually enjoyed it!

That is 1, of many,  aspects I enjoy of it.

Again, I'm not an attorney however i would meet interesting probate attorneys and enjoyed supporting them by herding cats in the courthouse. 

I enjoy it and its a pleasure working with several thousand assets based on my funds ability to consummate trades after building relationships for 30 years...

:D  @Michele FischerI love the area, I'm not to far from the Burke Gillman so have spent more than a few sunny days riding down it and enjoying the sun myself!

I'm glad you're enjoying the podcast.
