As an investor, this $60,000 in my pocket is more appealing and beneficial to me for a real clean start in the investing world.

And I have photographs for documentation.

Don’t forget;  you can charge much more in interest on personal property than you ever can with real estate.Not sure how large your site is but fencing the land might make it appealing for outdoor storage of boats and RVs.  

I feel like the Dave Ramsey stuff appeals to a mindset that prefers to be debt free. 

If you want to play with the whales and sharks you better come with something bigger and more appealing to eat!

I think we're pretty close (other than TX which looks real appealing). 

This makes things appealing to any retail tenant (especially food and beverage) and because of the garage, we could essentially  build on our 5000 sq foot parking lot, parcel it off, redevelop it into outdoor space, or whatever we like.

But generally, you shouldn't be using hitting the jackpot as your investment philosophy.also as a realtor, I'd remember that a 2-year-old house is kind of one of those tweeners that is not going to appeal to the new construction buyer as they want to be the first to own/buy a house in an area and they don't want it previously occupied. 

The hearing must be in no more than 10 days and the tenant has 10 more days to appeal. 

The town will usually have the process to appeal the assessment posted on their website with important dates.
