There's a laundry list of items from head-to-toe house to garage, etc.

I will admit I guilty of justifying the deal in my head even when it didn't make true sense on paper.

John Stevenson I think you hit the nail on the head.

Not that you'd have to knock heads together :-).

I recently purchased a house which managed by Action Property Managment.During inspection of home, inspector addressed several trees are causing foundation issue with their roots and many vegitations are not taken cared at all.I pay assotion fee which includes common area (my front yard) to be maintained by association (managment company).After contacted the APM about 2 month ago, they promised to take care issue yet nothing has been done.

Even if the lender will only do a 10 or 15 year loan, Dad can make the same monthly payment he is now and still retire the loan in about 8 years.I think this is where Charles Perkins was headed with his response.Definitely don't want to borrow from the 401k.

I read case after case and enough rulings to make your head spin.

Ned Carey pretty much hit the nail on the head.

Nope, I want to build a solid business based on repeatable systems and processes that allows me to make a lot of money while doing very little work and causing me very little frustration.You admit that your way causes you a life that's "full of frustration"...As long as the OP understands that my way is meant to reduce frustration and your way creates it (by your own admission), it's completely up to him which way to go.People have every right to bang their heads against the wall if they want to.

If it goes sour, at least you still have a roof over your head.
