Just to recap - for you to be profitable you need to calculate rent minus expenses like repairs, mortgage interest, home owners insurance, real estate taxes, capital expenditures, allowance for vacancy, utilities(if not paid by tenant), travel to and from the property, etc.

This will be my first time living back in the U.S. for any significant period of time and am excited also to comment w BPers out there.Hope everyone is having a great summer!

I recently purchased my first home with my wife and am looking forward to finding our next deal, which I hope to find in the greater Portland area.I'm very happy to be here and excited to connect with many of you here on BP!

There appears to be a bit of opportunity there which is exciting.

I say "retire" loosely as I wouldn't quit my job completely but work mostly per diem as I do love what I do, just would like more freedom to travel on my own schedule.   

(Sorry for yelling, I just get excited talking about this stuff!)

I really enjoyed the credit card travel points one.It would be cool to do one different ways of earning horizontal income

Earlier this year we sold most of our material possessions, left our jobs, and began traveling around the country in search of opportunity and adventure.  

I'm excited to start this journey and connect with others in my area! 

The deals I’ve sold over in that direction this past year, are the ones I am most excited to see the result of.
