No internet, no digital cable, etc.

All these investments after all the years are worthed as kid would finish their university with zero debts zero student loan , and he got 6 digit income even before he graduated.invest in 401k/529/Ira/real estate is all worthed…What if my kids don’t wanna go to college.

Although the area has experience massive price appreciation over the last 5 years, if you look at Colorado or California, you can see there is still plenty of headroom in the Smoky Mountains (Gatlinburg, Wears Valley, Pigeon Forge, Sevierville) especially when properties are generating double digit cash on cash returns.We purchased a few cabins in the Smokys and are looking to buy more.

2) Run the ad for free on Craigslist, Do an "Open" on your own, and put hidden digital recorders in each room to see what people say.

If they are as slim a margin as it seems that they are business model, then I dig it. 

Yes Dallas has crazy double digit appreciation rates but higher taxes.

Well on Tuesday night, Melissa received a text on her personal number from a seller with a picture of our mailer, and much to our surprise, a digit was left off of the end of our business phone number...

Hello @Philip AbbeyThere are many things to consider and it also depends a lot on what kind of personality you have (Risk taker, self motivated etc) so there is no one answer fits it all.Of course if your interest is over 8 percent on those loans i would strongly recommend you to pay them off first / consolidate the loans into one loan with lower interest rate and invest.For me personally i know that i can make more than a single digit return on my money + tax benefits so if my loans are less than that i wouldn't try to pay them off faster.

I am currently one of the managing partners of a management consulting firm that focuses on digital transformation.
