Can't take a chance on new to the business lenders.If you have a degree I would think teaching also might provide a decent salary and give you lots of free time afternoons, weekends, summers, holidays.

After several years of hating life during the summer, the year we had like 100 days of 100+ degree heat and I had a pregnant wife was the year that it was a bit too far for our family.

I had a recent opportunity with an old tired landlord essentially liquidating his portfolio - thing is he's asking market prices for his properties, they have a ton of deferred maintenance, locations are varied, and he offered a seller finance deal - 8.5% interest, up to 50k, up to 5 year loan term.

The contracts vary state by state so you'll have to find a local pro.
