Putting things I've learned from here and other places and tying them together in real life.  

It was then that I had the scariest conversation of my life.

I wouldn't mind living in the property how ever long I need to to get that $7k We are in it for the long term, an I understand noting is free in life.  

Congrats on your life long success.

You are on a great path to living you life on your terms by house hacking a 2 or a 4 unit for your first investment.

We mailed out an absentee owner list last month and now acquiring a 6 unit multifamily tomorrow because the owners are an older couple with health issues.Marketing to retired investors is great because they often have multiple properties they want to sell.Good luck!

A rich person who has, for some reason, never heard of investing before could read this quote and say "maybe I should invest some of my money into something that can bear interest" and their life will improve.If you have $100 in the bank, then saving more and putting it in a savings account is one of the smartest things you could possibly do.  

Save what you can, and you will be in a great position in 2 years.Just like everything in life, we are continuously learning and developing, with each passing year.

The other thing I see all the time are the people who've been researching and reaching for months if not years and still have yet to do anything......All I can say is you will never learn from a book what real life experience can teach you.....its those who fail and never try again who truly fail...not those who keep going and try again.  

The tear off and replacement is the last step in the life cycle of a roof.
