Ultimately, I made this investment to ensure I have housing and can put food on the table when I'm older.

@Greg Cook If you buy a property as a 2nd home/vacation home, then you are allowed to do rentals when you are not using it.

-Chris  Male sure the animals have food and water (or they will die) and stink the place up.Also, look in his phone contacts and other records for vet phone numbers, some animals take prescriptions-if you can figure out the pets names that helps a lot.If you and your family cannot handle the animals here is a list of No Kill Shelters in your area.https://www.nokillnetwork.org/d/Georgia/

You can snowball your savings by repeating this cycle to cover monthly expenses like: food, utilities, vacantions, and the ultimate - you're housing payment.

All just food for thought!

Food is expensive.What happens is, over the next year or so, people will then run through their savings and then they run through their retirement account because they don't want to give up their house.

Healthy food is easier to come by and more Americans are eating it.

There’s plenty of signs no one is living there currently and there is spoiled food in fridge and ash trays on beds with old cigarette buds in it.

The payment difference on a 30 year fixed rate, $260,000 property value, 25% down payment.5.375%                        7%$1,091                        $1,297                      $206            You might miss takeout food 4 times a month but at least your living the American Dream of true property ownership, building equity, living off of cash flow, building your empire & legacy does it get any better ?

Food for thought on those.
