I personally have been looking for a great place to set up shop for life.

I carry plenty of debt because it is making me money, but if you've never been debt free in your adult life, give it a try.  

Now we have 19 doors in our second portfolio and enjoying life.

I just fear the increase will eat up the money needed to improve the place and tenants life.

I’ve been around real estate most of my working life and I can tell you this, 95% of people who say they are investors are not.

Dear BP members,I'd like to start small European community here on BP.I spent whole my adult life in investment world building investment firms from scratch and growing them.

As someone said - first thing to do is get her affairs in order if you haven't already and have DPOA's set up for finance and health if 2 people will be involved or just one for all affairs - definitely consult an attorney and get everything in writing - if your family goes and invests her money and you lose it or there are not checks/balances and someone is essentially embezzling money you're asking for trouble and can cause her all sorts of issues.  

Often, that extends the life and saves considerable money over time (may not be a concern for a fix-and-flip). 

Added to the building value and depreciated over the life of the rental, not expensed all at once. 

Thanks for the response, the main focus of my life right now is investing in the future.
