I disagree. The truck cost as much as a down payment for another house. I rather buy another property for more income than a fancy truck. I would feel terrible throwing a used toilet in the back of a 50k truck.

I prefer a used Toyota Tacoma with a 6 foot bed. It's tuff and gets good gas mileage. Solid resale. I don't mind getting it dirty.

@Jaden Adams

Did you look at a state school close to home? You would save a ton of money in tuition, and commute to save more.

An education is a essential. Solid W2 income also helps with the lending process.

I have a three family that has a three level covered porch in the back. What does it generally cost to replace the deck including new footings? What are the options?

Tiling is supper easy to do. Watch a YouTube video and try. It may take a weekend or two but You'll save money.

You might need a wet saw. I think the big box shops rent them, or you could buy a small one for a $100ish.

@Nick Mess

I had a truck before I started in real estate. A Toyota Tacoma, 4 cylinder, 4 wheel drive, 5 speed. I'll keep it until it dies. Currently, it has 205k miles and going strong.

The small trucks are fairly economical and cheap to buy.

I spent a week in Isle of Palms this summer. The place is amazing.
