I actually, contrary to popular belief think it's better to just keep renting (maybe find a cheaper spot?)

The question then, is should each property equally have the same amount of expenses set aside for expenses each month?

Understanding a Mortgage Appraisal - Part 1The first thing to understand is appraisals are not all the same or equal.

And not all guns are created equal (by a long shot).

There was no fake it until you make it, but we operated on a belief that our best chance for survival was to consider every possibility and what decision we would make as those possibilities became realities.

We're all on a very equal playing field now.
