I would paint the front of the house and the car port different but complemtary colors, or at minimum the exterior door.  

In the past 12 months there has been one car stolen, two robberies and 4 assaults.

So, who would you rather be:Option A: Guy with $25,000 in cash, no debts, and no other assets, and a $50,000 per year salary.Option B: Guy with a $300,000 home, with a $260,000 mortgage, a $30,000 car with a $20,000 loan, $10,000 in his IRA, $15,000 in student loans, and $5,000 in his checking/savings account. $65,000 per year salary.Both have good credit.

For example, if you take your car to the dealership to get new brakes put on, they charge you $200.

Yes of course I want to make a lot more money but not to buy fast cars or shiny things but so I can enjoy my time here on this earth without financial worry.

You may need to have a civil engineer look at it.

@Lucas Carl I have one business account for my main investing business.

The festivals are nice as well and car shows, plenty to do around here.

I heard a story on another podcast (Rental Property Owner & Real Estate Investor Podcast, IIRC) about a guy who basically reverse-engineered the books for a property he wanted to buy in order to present it to the bank and show that it was making money, even if the existing tax docs didn't show it.

My main concern is that the home is on the smaller side at just under 1100 sq ft, only 1.5bath and space for two cars.
