And the alternative to TD investing is what?

In addition, would a growing portfolio of rentals trigger the wrath of the Alternative Minimum Tax?

You just have to be a bit more on the periphery of the Bay..An alternative for this amount of funds would be to invest in something cheap out of state.

I live in California and it cost $800 a year to run an S-corp, which is not to much of a concern if it really is a better alternative.

Also, try alternating between direct mailing and direct calling.

I like the idea of two offers with different alternatives, great thinking!

I also have 15 years experience in other sorts of non-stock market alternative investments.

There is always Summerville, or alternatively, consecutive flipping where the hold period is mere months.

If that is not enough, try finding other alternatives.

. : ) Your little girl looks cute.I would look at your assets left to you and see if you can put the assets to work in alternative assets that throw off more cash flow.All the land left to you see the value for both as to the zoning AG, etc. and path of growth and who is the potential buyers.
