On the other hand, the argument that always resonated with me is this: If you were to buy anything $50K-$100K in value (i.e. a car) would you not at least visit the dealership and get a test drive.

The house is fully furnished with a car in the carport.  

Peekskill to Manhattan Grand central Station is under 60 min by train or car!

Just like the states jacking you car tabs on electric cars. 

The situation: My name is Ryan Combs and I recently moved back to where I was born and raised (Vallejo, CA/Bay Area) and after several interviews I'm needing to decide between a few job offers:1-Enterprise Rent-A-Car (Mgmt Trainee)2-Sequoia Equities (Apt Leasing Consultant)3-Redfin (Sales support)The dilemma: I do have an interest in REI, would love to be able to coordinate some flips as well as delve into buy and hold Multifamily opportunities (which is where prop mgmt comes into play).

Think of it in terms of buying a car:  slightly used car (less than 20K miles) vs. a well-used car.

You could also buy points when you refi, to reduce the monthly payment further.Or pay off a car loan.

If you like the laid-back beachy lifestyle, find something on one of the smaller keys along the coast like Manasota Key, Marco Island, Sanibel where people get around by bikes or golf carts more than cars.  

Sure, just like there are way to run a restaurant without ever cooking food, ways of running a newspaper without ever writing a headline and ways of running a car service without ever getting behind the wheel.It involves hiring or subcontracting out all the work to other people who do these things for you.  

Period.It would be similar to having a rental home, and satjng that any cars the tenant owns entitle you to a right of refusal.
