I currently have an STR in the Poconos and I would recommend if you ever pick a home here to consider style. 

Inside mounts, and we've had good look with the cordless, roman style shades.  

It's about having an income that will enable you to maintain your current standard of living for life.

For the personal side of things, I do a GoBundance Onesheet, which breaks my life up into Financial, Health, Relationships, Friends, Adventure, and Spiritual/Contribution.Happy to share either document with you if that would help Tonio!

When you say 40% annualized is that per year or over the entire life cycle.  

Depends on your investing style of course but I do not believe there is a better turn-key company in the US for those that want to be as hands off as possible.  

Even just adding an extra $100-150/month to the principle can take years off the life of your mortgage.

We started looking at coaching programs and some of these things just seem ridiculous at 20-40 grand, and some seem more like life coaching programs as opposed to real estate programs. we don't want to syndicate we really would just like to find someone that we can bounce deals / ideas off of and have them assist in underwriting and giving us a better sense of security that we are doing the right thing.

This is the biggest decision of my life and I don't know what to do!

What's the life expectancy of the roof, paint, furnaces, water heaters, etc.?
