Prefer to buy at a discount, repair, refinance and repeat.Goal: provide a solution to a housing sparse market, while establishing a long term retirement plan for ourselves.Not looking for a “quick-rich” solution.I do like long walks on the beach, good bourbon/whiskey and sushi.I am self proclaimed professional fish-feeder, because I love to fish but fail at catching.
