Worked out perfectly

(See "The Tiger King" for a perfect example of why you wouldn't.)

I also don't receive a match on my contributions so I'd like to put them to better use between now and age 60. 

If you do obtain 3 properties, I would highly recommend using free online property management software to keep perfect track of your income and expenses (a trailing 12) so that you seem more credible to the banks and have something to show them. 

For example the old part of Denver (Downtown, LoDo, RiNo, Ballpark, Five Points, Curtis Park, Auraria campus) is laid out in a grid that is positioned perfectly diagonal to the four cardinal directions, and most of the rest of the city is laid out in a perfect N/S, E/W pattern. 

Reason for it is so the government can say money grew, even if only marginally to match inflation.

So to match or beat inflation you need to take on more risk.

#@ OK OK breathe breathe...calm down Monkeybutt...so yeah...Do you really think that caveman approach to filtering a list  based on those primitive criteria will ever outperform facebooks automated selection of that perfect audience?

I’ve been looking for the perfect deal for 6 months but have not came across that deal.

@Nathan G. you said it perfectly!
