@Al Williamson Ticket purchased and ready to rock. 

My personal view is that investors should focus on building rock-solid financial foundations by living frugally, working hard, generating income, saving, house-hacking, and taking a hands-on approach to old-school real estate investing.

But you're the rock star - You just moved to a different geography (with better fishing), into better cash flow, set yourself up for retirement, and did it without paying any tax using the 1031 exchange.  

I recently overpaid for a property (not a large sum, but still overpaid) because I wanted to lock in more debt at rock bottom borrowing costs.But investing in real estate, and many asset classes is cyclical.

So my sound proofing is focused in the second floor/ceiling of the first floor.For soundproofing, I do the following;1) I am mindful to seal up all of the second floor subfloor penetration.2) I installed 3" thick mineral wool (Roxul or Rockwool) insulation between the floor joist directly above the sheet rock.3) I use resilient channel to hang the ceiling drywall, which is 5/8" thick (per code for fire barrier, but is a bonus for sound).The above does a good job at reducing sounds like TV's, radio's, talking, etc.  

We invest in these properties at rock bottom prices, and we allow those who invest with us to do the same through a partnership that puts everyone in the same boat.

Turning over skinny margin rocks, hoping for the phone to ring from an indecisive seller that wants the moon got old way back.

At his low point , probably rock bottom, he changed his purpose.

You can't get water from a rock.

You are a reading rock-star James!
