I know this is a slow longer play, but I am conservative and can save a lot of my income month to month.

Sad to see it removed, but rules are rules....I'd like to see it continued/re-examined, but this time simply in light of generosity in general not tied to any other type of organization.I believe that people who are generous have a way about them that tends to draw others toward them, which is helpful in business where net working and establishing relationships built on trust is important.

I have always loved real estate and would spend lots of bonding time with my dad, driving around wherever we happened to be, looking at houses, playing "guess the price" on the for sale ones, and dreaming about owning this or that, or having a rental here or there.

I want to offer on a duplex, as my first investment property, and the city has it zoned as single family, although it is registered as a duplex and a rental and I can continue to rent it as a duplex.
