No cats, no rotting food, no visible bugs, no bad smells. 

Truely food costs are pennies on the dollar for anything other than meat, dairy and fresh fruits/ veg's ( which I am going to try a garden but I am afraid, I can even kill fake items lol.)

My motive it to expand my assets and create money (as Robert from Rich Dad Poor Dad would say) and get out of the Rat Race.

I have come to believe its ultimate Think and Grow Rich master mind.

Unless he is sharing in the profits/losses, there's no reason why he should be making any decisions regarding the renovations.Btw, sometimes I go to restaurants and let the chef choose my meal -- I typically pay a big premium for that experience...and I'm not always thrilled with my food

I hope that EVERYONE who considers borrowing 90% LTV against property is as diversified and equity-rich with other assets as yourself.But sadly, many who go down that route are not, and aren't as savvy with how they invest/spend their continual top-up borrowings either...

I think that you will find that there is no one good resource to learn about money management, and that lots of smart people here on BiggerPockets and around the web will disagree intelligently on the best ways to manage your money.I think that a good list of books to begin reading if you are interested on taking control of your money, learning to invest, and having money work for you, instead of having to work for money, are these:1) Richest Man in Babylon (Great for learning basic finance principles - probably the first book you should read)2) Rich Dad Poor Dad (Great for understanding how wealthy people think about money)3) The Four Hour Work Week (Great for understanding the concept of lifestyle design and that Effort does NOT always correspond to productivity)4) The Millionaire Next Door (Great for understanding about what REAL Rich people do with their lives and money)5) The Wealth Barber (A Great step by step look at a reasonable approach for a typical american looking to manage their wholistic financial position)6) The Compound Effect (A Great Book that Discusses the Gradual, then accelerative, then explosive nature of finance, and many other life objectives)Oh, and since you are learning about money - get these books from the library for FREE! 

Welcome to BP community, hope all is well.What was my driving force was eating up audio books to speed up the gaining knowledge process, in return I would gather my questions faster for more deeper research.also all podcast/video-blogs from BP, listen to all of them until you start feeling a craving for a certain niche, then focus more on that new found hunger.recommended books:-10x Rule-Ultimate Beginner's Guide to Real Estate Investing (free from BP)-Rich Dad Poor Dad-Millionaire Real Estate Agent (known as the Red book within REA's)-Millionaire Real Estate Investor (known as the Blue book within REA's)-4 hour work week-The E Myth for Real Estate Investors-Profit FirstGood luck, you seek , you will find#keepthehustle #lifeisworthliving #notdreamingitsreality

Hi Rich, something came to my mind is that if you tried to build and sell, you might want to consider building a 6 unit condos.
