I went into the woods Sunday and spent the whole day there from before dawn till after dark in silence.

Jon-- I don't really know about carry trades, but I did collect a bit of interest rate premiums from the spread between currency pairs when I was currency trading.

Bears fart in the big woods.

It is doing really well, and I'm finding that there are a lot of travelers that want to book a rental in the "woods" for the unique experience, and don't mind the 30 min drive to Nashville. 

Perhaps the advantageous tax deductions of real estate enable you to show a low enough income to qualify for an attractive tax credit and, thus, low net premium cost. 

Dark colors and off the wall colors are used as necessary , Usually to spray rafters in basements as a primer . ( old wood soaks up lost of paint )

The tenant has the storage with even more junk inside the storage and the outside he has all the canoes all around the property and a bunch of wood that he uses for his job.

Basically I charge the seller 2 pct (instead of the 5-6 to list) and the buyer 2 pct (for an off-market, direct access with no one else bidding, premium).

You can charge a premium for prime locations and tend to have more stable renters.Window units are unattractive and typically define the type of neighborhood but, as your figures indicate, it’s not indicative of cash flow.Are there any updates needed on either property?

Throw in some pointy pieces of white-painted wood and you've got the American dream.
