. :)Anson, That sounds fun.

Once my clients know what they will have to accept for the extra yield they say they will take a few percent less.I know personally I don't want to buy in those low income headache areas.I value less stress,a fun life,and a more stable property than the extra yield.

Trust me, not fun!

It can be for their own safety, as a friend of mine came home to find his chocolate lab chewing through a lamp cord (luckily, unplugged).

Josh, it's been a lot of fun to see BP grow and get better.

Of course that kind of comparison is just for fun and pretty meaningless but still I did not see anything on the site of use that I don't already do with a spreadsheet.

Your background should make real estate investing really fun.

If you like the idea of "hgtv worthy," then pick areas where it works for you financially and have fun with it.

(don't eat out,go to movies,etc.)The problem is you might not be alive in 25 years to enjoy it.That 1 million in 25 years is not worth 1,000,000 or even close to it anymore because of inflation.I believe the balance is in the middle.Enjoy today responsibly and do fun things but not out of control.As your income and net worth grows you still save and reinvest very heavily but your quality of life continues to improve.With some people it doesn't matter how much they make they will spend it all 100k,200k etc.Someone else could make only 75k a year but save and invest most of it and at the end of 10 years for example the saver has over 1 million in assets and the reckless spender has millions and million of bad debt.Partnerships are easy to get into and a huge mess to get out of so I think you need to decide on a different approach.
