(Monthly payment not to exceed $600)My current financial situation allows me to set aside about a thousand dollars/month so I have some flexibility.My next obstacle is getting my wife on board.  

I have referred thousands of people to this website.IF ANYONE WHO IS AN ADMIN ON BP CAN HELP ME?

Victoria is in close proximity to some areas that could be airbnb Hotspots.I'd say don't let your goal ruin your family, we can get caught up in the pursuit and not realize how rich you are already.

Every year, I produce the BiggerPockets  Real Estate Investment Market Index, a study in which I go through thousands of counties across the country and collect data on their rental rates, and home prices.

Spend a day painting the outside windows and you'll save yourself another couple thousand according to your spreadsheet.We don't know what the inside looks like, but 10k for framing seems high just based on the exterior pictures. 

This may change with time and increasing net worth, but for now, I would feel foolish paying tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of dollars to eliminate such affordable debt, backed by cash flowing real estate assets.

My wife just forwarded me the distressed property report from our Portlandia MLS system.09% of all listings are short sales  Less than 2% are bank owned  9 thousand listings.... that leaves only 180 bank owned in the metro 2 million population.ERgo why I went into new construction a few years back..

Me, on the other hand, would waste a day, ruin the job, and have to hire an extra guy to remove the flooring, buy new flooring and pay that same guy good money to lay down the new stuff.

I have had A class brand new homes trashed personally... but to claim its their business model to deceive and ruin investors investments by simply placing fake tenants in their properties is just way off the mark..

The Ll is probably spending 10’a of thousands to make your place nicer with no hope of higher rents.
