MyPay allotments are not my first choice but some people really like them.

But in this scenario in towns like Quincy (or first choice) or Dorchester/Eastie etc., my model shows us not cash-flowing at all (we'd still need to put in ~$1000 per month, which is much better than what we pay in rent currently, but still).

I have never had an issue with Behr Ultra and it is my brand of choice.

Finding a great bargain on a SFH in your own market is likely a better choice for most people than a mediocre deal in a potentially growing but distant market.

Some attorneys are not a good choice and will not listen to what you want.

His idea to pay for Real Estate in cash is a smart investment choice as I wrote about in my original post.  

It's not a choice. 

Rolling it over into your own IRA or other tax advantaged account would be my first choice, depending on how much is in the account

That was to learn, gain experience, and figure out what works best for me and I'm ready to move on with a concrete game-plan.Something that bothers me a little is that my paint color choice looks great in the brighter light but not as good in the yellower light. 

I will figure it out as I have no choice, I foolishly promised my wife before we moved in.....
