I'm in it for the long haul, so if the numbers work today the future doesn't concern me as much, but I would hope home prices and rent continually and gradually increased and hopefully within the next 5-10 years interest rates came down to allow me to either refinance and pull a lot of cash out, or greatly reduce my mortgage.But in an effort to get my wife involved and excited about real estate we've switch gears and are currently looking for an STR along the NC coast.

*All signs point to yes!

Hi BP community,I have been toying with how I want to structure a family purchase.

I can handle stress we have over 3 restaurants inthe family ... stuff happens things take down turns randomly .. been there done that with dumb lawsuits customers/ employees have thrown at us I guess thats why im so cautious honestly that plus the main reason i see real eatate as a safer investment and why im am here on this forum is ... my parents have 2 single family  rentals and one commercial building (they paid off in 5 years with restaurant profits) cash flowing 1000 each house and commercial cash flowing 3,500 freely and its a piece of mind they always have extra money coming in with payment free properties I guess since i grew up seeing that side of passive cashflow I’ve always thought wow they have zero payments and they get all this money flowing monthly (obviously not a great sum) but you get what i meanOkay ill probably start going 30 year notes but just for the sake of peace of mind forsure im gonna be paying them off sooner if economy starts shakingAgain im here for the long haul in about 4 months ill be looking for property #2 so yall shall see me again here

The cost can depend on if they have to haul trimmings away or they can put them in a wooded area in the back to decompose naturally.Lawn care companies typically do not have the training or the tools to work on large trees or to able to remove them or the stumps.

I do not view exercise for the sake of exercise as being a normal or required activity however given present day societies pension for electronic toys (all thing done on a couch by internet) and avoidance of having to participate in such activities as shopping it is possible that exercise solely for the sake of exercise may be necessary.  

I am sure everyone has a different view on this  topic and of course it's dependent on what your needs are.Some perhaps will want an overseas trip every year, wining and dining every week, some  toys along the way and others will be prepared to live a simple life.What income are you aiming achieve......from property investing?

Have it hauled away and sell it off for scrap or similar. 

The damage (if we had the boards) would require a minimum of 150 boards, likely more to even just replace the single boards plus labor to tear out and refinish subfloor/concrete if necessary, haul away, etc. 

I have a black 2011 avalanche ltz use for hauling stuff in .
