Glad that you enjoyed it, Michelle.Ali, I'd like to do a spec build in the future.

So, it boils down to increasing the income side of your budget in an intelligent and low risk fashion, that you understand and enjoy.

It has come to my attention that, twice now, you have broken this condition of your tenancy by having a dog on the premise.It is our desire that you and all other tenants enjoy living in your rental unit.

it takes all my income now to meet monthly demands. my idea is this second, after some improvements which my wife and i have experience and enjoy doing, will be  considerably more valuable, and will, importantly, allow our kids to attend a much better school.as far as paying off student loans, my plan has to be longer range. if teaching in a title one school for 10 years i receive i think 70% relief of these loans -- so that is part of my loan repayment idea. appreciating any input.

As a newbie about to purchase my first property, it's encouraging to hear several experienced investors discuss the enjoyment of being where I want to end up.

I joined this year and have been to three REIA WA meetings, and enjoyed them.

I throughly enjoy reading all the BP blogs, threads, and listening to the podcasts.  

There are a few notes we are looking at that don't come with credit reports and I really enjoy seeing how they are doing on the rest of their credit. 

If you can then sell and move on to better things, otherwise hold and enjoy the modest cash-flow.

We purchased our first vacation rental cabin in the smoky mountains (Gatlinburg Pigeon Forge) with the idea that we would use it and enjoy it quite often.
