I read an article about food companies cutting down on extraneous fancy stuff (no more strawberry Oreo cookies, for example) and paring their product line down to their core offerings.

You don't want to live with slackers.Made a mistake with my first roommate and provided food. 

No, if they break the lease early, they are responsible for rent until the new tenant moves in. Take

Post graduating high school at 16 years old I worked at the fast food chain full time that I currently work for today I am in the process of transitioning to a Teller position at a local bank to generate income while working in the field of finance in addition to being approved of my grants for my Business and administration degree.With the situation Im presently in, I have nearly 8k saved, My car is paid off, I'm going into college in the next 5 months expense free and I pay $300/month to help live with my mother who covers food, utilities, etc.

I am a retired tax attorney so I always think about how to save on taxes because I saw how such a structure can make a huge difference today and in the long run Since I retired relatively young I wanted freedom, no hassles and safe long term income Btw I retired relatively young (many years ago) thanks to investing in real estate and paying usually no more than 15% in tax to compound my returnsSo my suggestion to you, if and when you inherit the $10mil net is:1) Move to Puerto Rico (best tax incentives for US citizens and Carribbean weather plus direct flights to many US cities inexpensively) 2) Invest in the funds there that deal with historic properties 3) you will make 8% tax exempt income per year with no tax, no hassles, and no problems Way better than municipal bonds or anything else You can private message me and I can share with you how I have done it and where Btw I would not do flips (too much work)I would not buy Apt Bldgs (too many hassles) I would stay away from cold places and move to Carribbean weather or at least a warm place like California PR Florida of Puerto Rico is not so exciting for you I would certainly stay away from any direct debt or leverage and just enjoy health through good food, sleep and exercise and happiness through positive goals and good relationships All the best

Can check them out the the Navy Exchange food court if you are ever near the airport. 

The property also appreciated enough that when we sell it we will make a profit after all costs associated with maintaining it are accounted for (down payment, utilities, landscaping, food, main sewer line replacement).My son graduates in June and we have decided to keep it as a rental and not sell it.

Anyone interested in taking me under their wings to show "how it is done"?
