But its probably a lot better than it was 30 yrs ago.

Mine is about 2.5 yrs right now.

Steel will rust if not galvanize or galvanealed but if you get +20 yrs or more out of them does it really matter? 

One offers a 1 yr @ 0.35%, then 2-5 yrs @ 3.50% and their current index rate at 5.00%.

The stress of potentially having to duck/fight them for another 13 yrs makes me lean towards selling.

Triplex Rent: ($1550 + $1550 + $1700)=$4800/mo rentProp Tax= $250/moIns=$96/moMortgage=$1710/moThe mortgage I'm looking at will be for $300K on a value of $400K, commercial lending, 10 years at 4.75%, amortized for 25 yrs, and rate will adjust one time after 5 years, with pymt of $1710/mo.

Update: The home 2 doors down has been vacant and taxes unpaid for at least 5 yrs and from the outside appears to be in much better condition.

This is instead of the 2 yrs you needed to live there. 

Not braggin if you can back your play.  56 units 2 yrs of Blding Code(LAW) IN 7 Months. 4.0 gpa.

--to keep on the road. get a new car (under 3 yrs and 30k miles) under warranty with the most covered in warranty; with maintenance included to a degree, get insured with business insurance & include disability so your loan is paid off if you get disabled, work gig jobs so your car will be a business expense on your taxes. since you are independent contractor you are self employed-you want lower taxes. get a car you feel comfortable doing repairs on--buy American so parts are a bit less expensive. keep you car clean. never take clients in your car. get 4X4 if you live in rural area. dont fall for that "must have luxury car" bs.
