I prefer to keep my investments separate from my residence.

That would be my first choice.

But anyway...Regarding being lazy, if preferring to spend time with my family and raising my kids instead of spending time working makes me lazy, then yes, I'm the laziest guy on the planet.Sure, I could do things like spend 26 hours in a car to look at two properties...but I'm lazy and would probably just spend $100 to have someone do it for me while I spent 26 hours having fun instead.

It's been said that there in every situation there is only two choices - love or fear.

Who knows, I might come to prefer landlording!

3) Do you prefer asphalt, gravel or other for roads?

An attorney told me this cld be done, again, I just preferred not to spend the $350 per hour, so trying to find another way to achieve this, there is a way, let me reassure everyone here...as Yoda once said, Steve B, "Can't never could"....maybe it wasn't Yoda :) Here is what I'm trying to do, First I do not want to do a simple transfer, as, one can not profit on the mortgage payment, yes?

I prefer a properly operated LLC (again, opinions differ) along with a solid umbrella policy.

The spacing is the "preference of the HOA board."

I'd love to hear people's thoughts on debt vs equity investing and what they prefer and why.I personally like the safety of debt, since things tend to be more clearly defined, as opposed to off the cuff estimates on returns.
