@Kevin Stone I was born and raised and lived in Montgomery for most of my life.

Do 3 or 4 of those a year, and it starts to become life-changing.

I've lived here in Spokane all my life so I can decipher the good areas/schools/streets from the bad pretty well.

Now while searching for a local contractor i keep running into the problem of them not wanting to deal in the area by keep warning me that it a horrible area to invest inI am aware of the high property taxes, and war zones being that i have resided here my entire life.  

I'm 35 years old, happily married to the love of my life with two incredible boys, 6 and 10 years old.  

I just read this a few minutes before I saw your post, @Mersades Williams21 Quotes to Keep You Going — Even When the Entrepreneurial Life Gets Tough

I get one low life after another with evictions, criminal histories, low income but thinks they can afford it (75% of income on rent), they are going to pay the landlord who evicted them from their first apartment three years ago back even though I have had all this time to do it and still haven't, he evicted them after their first month it wasn't their fault, I'm innocent, blah bla blah. 

I know the safe route would have been to make sure passive income was a certain amount or that I had a certain dollar amount in reserves to cover things, but it's like putting a timeline on anything else in life... most times you look back years later and realize you never hit that goal and you never took the chance. 

.), but of course don't cut off the people who you value in your life. :) Good luck!
