I believe it is a very healthy things for kids to work in high school and college.

The thank you notes I get from time to time and genuine smiles I get when my residents see me makes my work rewarding.  

I also think those nonvolatile markets, if you pick one with healthy rental demand, you've got a much lower chance of that market taking a turn when the economy does.

Which turns a healthy $75K gain into mediocre real quick.You've got a couple of options however.1.

Meanwhile because you have all your cash back you can rinse, wash, repeat this process...creating healthy cash flow with minimal funds...? 

So this year 7.9%, which is still healthy appreciation.Heck.

Most struggling investors complain about not being able to find money and it's out there, but no one would rightly give over there hard-earned funds WITHOUT knowing you are more than capable of taking care of it and bringing them a healthy return, in a reasonable / agreed upon time frame at a rate beneficial to you both.So, good real estate bookkeeping is a must, and too many try to skimp in this area.  

For those of us who "care" about how healthy a home is to live in, how efficient it is AND what impact it has on the environment, you bring essential knowledge to BP.I'm in the East Bay, interested in investing in Oakland & SF.

You can buy pretty inexpensive 30 or 40 year term life policy at your age (assuming you are healthy).

Rich Rich,I have a neighbor who volunteers for "Operation Smile"; this organization gets volunteer medical staff to travel to under-developed countries and perform surgery for cleft palates (primarily, some other facial deformities are also handled I believe).
