Areas like Lawrenceville and East Liberty have undergone huge transformations.. it’s worth exploring how those shifts could affect your property’s future value.What’s your take?

How do I get their numbers in the future?

I sacrifice today in order to reap the rewards in the future. 

The only time I'd say it's an okay idea is if either: The area you're investing in is expecting so much appreciation that you will easily profit off that (watch out for mortgage interest though...the appreciation needs to be higher than what you pay in that and expenses to make it profitable)You have some specific reason for wanting to do it- family ties, future home, major long-term hold, etc.Maybe I'm forgetting another one, but those two are all I have for now...

It’s so mental but if you have stuffed feelings of hatred against the successful people you see you actually are also going to judge your future self for becoming successful and likely sabotage it before you get there. 

Currently I'm looking for some kind of methodology, software or app, that I can use to manage the properties, which will allow for another family member to step in to my role relatively seamlessly if I were to pass in the future.

I am a local agent here at an investment brokerage, and would love to connect for any future deals you may be looking to purchase.

We wrote into our purchase agreement that a separate septic agreement needed to be drawn up and attached to the recorded deed for all future owners which protected us and the other home owner,  and will make it easier to sell in the future with that in place. 

Pay your vehicle loan, credit cards, etc because in 12 months all of the accounts you pay out of a business checking account will be omitted from your DTI in the future.
