Feel free to shoot me a message if you need any help from an agent. 

In general, most people shoot for anything above 8% (to beat the stock market)..

In your case you can sell without tax implications so it's sort of a moot point but the goal to shoot for with real estate is to keep letting your investment grow with minimal tax implications for as long as you can.  

I’ll shoot you a pm. 

If there is anything I can do to help you out feel free to shoot me a message.

So with the drought here, what's left of the grass is barely alive, I water a little bit, however I have monster weeds that is hard to remove, and shoots up about 2 feet tall in no time and needs to be mowed down.I am in the process of remodeling, so I don't have time to up keep the front, it looks really bad. 

You basically find a small multi-family property (I'd shoot for a 4 plex if you can).  

Shoot, all you have to do is look around BP boards and see how real property terms leech into mortgage investment topics.

My goal so far (please feel free shoot holes in this plan as I love learning from constructive criticism)...once I get my 'wife hack' situation figured out (she is the greatest woman I know but is one of the most risk adverse people I've ever met.

Shootings and murders were on top FBI lists routinely in the area.
