@Thomas Rutkowski– Tom raised the bar in ensuring I had all questions answered when it came to leveraging permanent insurance as a wealth accumulation vehicle@Ian Ippolito – for the great resource on passive investing that is his website@Steve Babiak – As a fellow local Philly investor, the knowledge and experience he has shared through his many, many posts are nuggets I’ve always appreciated.

You could also end up with too many vehicles parked on and near the property if the house is on a circle and parking is limited.If I were to do it would definitely want to devise a good system beforehand for how to select the new people when one moves out.

If I ran a ferry moving vehicles across a river and had to refit new or rebuilt engines, I'd need to amortize that cost as it extends the useful life of my asset.My example of a furnace filter holder probably was not a good one, if it's a minor cost and the useful life can't really be determined that repair could well be an expense.

I am considering purchasing a vehicle to be titled in the LLC.

What kind of advertising do you have on your vehicle...

I want experience with other vehicles and strategies over time, so that I might be able to wholesale, partner on, finance, or invest in special situations if the right opportunities come around.

It seems easier for a professional inspector to find the problems with an apartment building than a mechanic inspecting a car, since so many vehicle systems are sealed.

Real estate  had been gaining alot of momentum recently and that's because historically it is a solid investment vehicle.  

Vallejo Suisun,, some of Sacramento etc... but prime SF real estate held so did prime Peninsula.. you had softening for sure but not market reversals like in the 89 to 92 era.Where investors got killed in Texas was just the cost to maintain a home there and tax's. you have foundation issues you have sky high tax's and the economy there was cyclical to oil... and you had very little appreciation to speak of... and so many new constructions that compete with the older stock the next thing you know you can buy a new home for the same price as your 25 year old dated home and people flee those and they turn into rentals. and now with SFR rentals being the new investment vehicle their values are going to be tied to the 1% rule for out of state and 1.5 to 2.0 for savvy locals. is my take on it.The money will be made in forced appreciation.. and I guess if you want to make a few bucks a month on rentals nothing wrong with that..

The only vehicle capable of making this happen is Real Estate.
