We knew we did not want to be employees all our life but was not sure what to do till now.Just trying to learn enough to get that first deal under way.

I don't regret it though, because I was walking away with my divorce check - so I took it as a small price to pay to close a crazy chapter in my life!

It's tough in the beginning but everything in life that is worth it ain't easy.  

When my grandmother died in 2002 she left her townhouse ($500k) as a life estate to my aunt for as long as she wants to live in it. 

There is always a major catastrophe in her life.

Also water heater life is controlled by maintenance, usage, thermocouple, piezo quality. 

S. that do not feel the need to regulate every aspect of your life.

If I know the roof is half way in it's life-cycle, I will probably save up a lot more than 5% for cap ex. 

Been considering looking out there to invest as well as Plant City but I don't know, I've lived in Orlando and Kissimmee, and the Panhandle my whole life.

  $15-20 per hour is standard which might be a bit high given the ease of the tasks but you need to take into account the fact that they are driving out and disrupting their life for what is often a 10=30 min task.
