Ideally you can drop your rent to about 500$ and have equity building in an asset.When you move out, you could maybe rent it for 1650$.

Ideally, these researchers today have enough financial literacy to know to invest a good part of their income in income-producing assets so they can survive the harder times that historically are sure to arrive for them.

@Bruce Lynn wow that is interesting. i think i should try the family reunion/dinner. thanks@Neil Aggarwal the two grandsons are splitting 10k if this goes through. i dont think they really care wouldn't mind if the city just takes the house. one of them is very unwell health wise and has had 2 strokes behind trying to sell this house, so i think they just let it go mentally already. 

@Chris Strokes Yes we are selling it as an investment so there will be a cash flow incentive of course.  

I have just never been so concerned with not having a picture of myself as my line of work, I want people and my clients to put a face when I deal with them.

For as much as I deal with real estate and properties, I feel i need to be more knowledgable regarding utility companies.

Doctors were saying same thing old age but family did not give up, it was to rapid in their eyes and finally under family pressure they did MRI and turn up she had multiple mini strokes.

I think they serve some good purposes, but if you're sourcing capital for a certain type of deal you'll probably be better-served procuring capital once the deal is tied up ideally.

I never see them anywhere in the USA, but they seem like an ideal solution.
