Now that we've closed, fixed the house up a bit (basic paint, windows, a few other cosmetics), and have it rented out for positive cash-flow, I'm looking to bring on board a property management company so that I don't have a situation of my dad getting called up in the middle of the night if there is an issue with the toilet, power, etc.If this works out, I'm hopeful to continue learning and also acquiring more properties for my buy and hold approach.  

Have a Powerful Sales Day!!!

My question is by both of us being on the mortgage will this take away from our buying power in the future?

Because ethanol production requires a significant amount of energy, and most energy in the US is produced from coal, the small reduction in CO2 and other polluting emissions from burning ethanol versus gasoline will be more than offset by the power needed to produce the ethanol.

Hence the separation of powers in our Constitution.

I'll admit he did add a bit of his star power to the mix.

As a novice, I'm not sure if there are other ways to acquire another property without my buying power.

My local power company will give me a free electric water heater if I switch over from gas.

I am the guy that gets the call at 2 AM when the alarm company sees that the power "blinked off" for a second, the one that the tenants call to complain when the common hallway is not clean enough (because of the group of kids that just walked out of the sandwich franchise that threw trash everywhere), etc.
