Ok so I'm reading a lot about loans and trying to figure them out, a couple things I can't figure out for the life of me, was hoping one of y'all could help me understand!

I'm having new shingles put on a duplex and the roofer has two options:1) BP Mystique 42 Limited Lifetime Warranty Shingles  (base shingles)2) Malarkey Vista 40 yr Warrant Shingles (+$950 upgrade)Roofer figures upgrading from base shingles will extend shingle life from about 20/25 to 35/40 years. 

Anywhere from 8-12 % CoCR is suitable over the life of the investment.

It all comes down to getting the right mix of index funds for your time horizon and risk tolerance; you don’t have to pay a financial advisor crazy amounts of money to do that; in fact you could just invest in a lifestyle fund that automatically rebalanced in the time horizon you are looking at.As for an advisor who can do both.  

They don't like to compromise their daily quality of life.

My wife's grandfather is in the final stages of his life on hospice care and the family is discussing what to do with his beach home in Nags Head, NC. 

To be honest, I am not sure if I can build an empire like you do, and perhaps that is ok as I may be meant to take a different path in life.

Beg, borrow, or steal a book called Set for Life.

I'm not sure what other life factors and preferences come into play there but here's my personal situation: I'm 29, single, without children, and work full time in my investing business.

It's not an original note state.Or...you could just entrust all of your life's savings to someone that will do all that for you and take a piece of it in exchange.When you've done all that, jump in the water.
