They are all on one water meter.

I've seen too many who had their knees cut out from under them near retirement and had to put it off because they were 100% in the stock market and it dropped in half just before they were planning on retiring.

Hoped to gross $1200 a month...but now dropping that to $1200 including pool and lawn care.I have one hard money mortgage. $80K at 6.25 intererst only for five years.
