Scott Rowe and his  wife Nancy have sacrificed incredibly to build such a fantastic business in Downers Grove.

In unit washer dryer should get you way more in rent than your cash yield from coin operated, especially if you are considering sacrificing an apartment.  

However, you are typically sacrificing appreciation and alternative investment options when buying a condo vs. a house on land you own (i.e. with a house you could build an ADU, or tear down the property at some point in the future, etc...)

It is a financial impact and sometimes it's worth sacrificing cash flow if the expected appreciation justifies it.So, in general, try to keep in mind that everything kind of flows together.  

Anthony,you are not sacrificing by going simple, (and simply genuine).People here often overthink things WAAAY too much.They think it is an art, or a science to send the perfect letter.Good lord people.Simply say.. hey I am Jerryll, and I am looking for a house to buy so I can flip. 

Talk to an accountant, the bank, and any other advisers you have.If you know how much you can afford to pay on the judgment at any given time without sacrificing your assets, then you can plead with the court to structure the settlement in such a way that you can reasonably meet the obligation.

Even if you are goal-oriented already, a real estate coach can help you set better, more realistic, more achievable goals without sacrificing ambition.

Obviously, it's great if you can get both, but I feel more comfortable sacrificing some appreciation potential for better cash flow.

My suggestion is to take a "stay-cation" buy her a new outfit go out to dinner and talk real estate because clearly it wasn't discussed while both of you were sacrificing to save money. 

The buyer over paid, thus sacrificed the gains he should have made for increasing NOI.
