But if items such as the roof, water heaters, boilers, & decks are old then you may want to include a $ figure in your annual budget for eventual replacement of these items.  

@Guy Gimenez I am sure there are those that pay stupid money and eventually get hurt.

Focus instead on being respected and effective in your business dealings, and this may eventually lead to being “liked.”

I definitely don't mind traveling to get a feel for everything at first, but its good to know you can eventually do everything remotely since it will be difficult to travel while I still have my 9-5.

There is so little inventory and people search for the right home for months and months and eventually give up and take anything that they didn't get overbid on.I was telling my friend last night about a tiny property in Mt Washington (area that most of Angelenos is confused as of where it is located - near Eagle Rock) that came on the market about 2 months ago at $405K.

I fell back asleep eventually and woke up a little before 6 am.

My attorney researched and eventually we got the QC and bought the two houses. 

I explained the advantages of selling to me over get the home eventually foreclosed on and she signed with me.I spoke with her about the best strategy to get her ex to sign and we decided on me calling him and directly explaining the situation and attempting to get an appt. where I could get his signature.I called him but he wasn't ready to meet me and we decided it would be better if she met with him to get his signature.  

It's not just me I'm making these decisions for, my kids have to eat and have health care and eventually go to college!

I would eventually like to Cash out Refi after a few years of holding and roll into another but not sure how attractive the new mortgage will look.
