Why do you think the SPCA gets more support from Pet lovers than real estate investors give human beings that really support the advantaged life style of the Investor, an often Rich Slum Lord?

Here's what I'm thinking about doing to make it more manageable and enhance revenues. 

I thought the mullet was a better comparison - it's a discretionary choice and lifestyle decision that was popular for ~10-12 years.  

Also nowadays with enhanced report feature they all look the same, which is nice and removes and preference for visual bias.

I'm a police officer and I've been contemplating getting my real estate license to further enhance my knowledge of real estate and get a better grasp at developing markets/buy and hold strategies/ and or rehabbing/flipping.

This is a lifestyle and it is not 9-5 with paid days off and an hour lunch break.

@Tim Vecchioni, put simply, your personal residence is always going to be largely a lifestyle choice, rather than purely an investment choice.

My thought process is that if I can find a property with better ROI with leverage vs cash then this would be ideal because I also get the tax benefits and keep extra cash for future investments or enhancements.

I want the lifestyle that will make money while i pursue it.

Sounds like something I'd hear from a guy on stage in an expensive suit who is trying to get me to sign up for a HELOC at the table in the back of the room so HE can put my "dead equity" to work... paying for his lifestyle.
