My blog/website is about long distance self management, landlording, investing in class A investments, investing in a transient lifestyle, etc.We got started young and have found babysteps and one day at a time to be key :) Welcome again, and I look forward to seeing you around.

We love the location on the Chesapeake bay for our kids and the Mayberry like lifestyle!!

When I bid a home I spend at least an hour with the investor to understand basic taste such as material grade, creative enhancement opportunities that may exist in the asset and desired time line.

Since the job situation no longer requires me to be rooted in any particular place I started to think that maybe I can make my dream scenario of a bi-coastal lifestyle a reality (I know that Chicago isn’t technically “coastal” but you get the point!

That's not much of a lifestyle.

If you take some of that money and invest in a degree ($50K at a state school, including room and board) or a technical certificate (some are only a few thousand and take less than a year), you're earning potential will be significantly enhanced.

I see real estate investments as a way for me to provide not only the lifestyle I'd like for my family but to ensure stability as well.

To me Real Estate is more like a lifestyle than a job.
