Now everything is brand new inside.The original plan was to keep it for 5-10 yrs and then sell it.

The profit margin is not high this way but the only investment is your design time.It also solves the "I don't wear T-shirts" issue because you can apply your design ideas to all sorts of products.BTW- there's no minimum on orders so it could be a a good resource for BPers looking for branding for their own businesses as well.

Other than the 2 homes we owe on still, we bought a brand new vehicle that we owe 39k on (0% apr) and I own 9k on a credit card.

I'm a brand new investor, trying to do all the research I possibly can before buying my first investment property.I'd like some feedback as to how my plan is looking, and if I'm on the right track.
