Also sorry to hear your Account and I would imagine friend of 25 years passed.

I know that the Electric baseboard can be a turn off to some buyers but with the house being tightly sealed I really can't imagine the electric bill being that high.  

She never said it, but I imagine if there were a few more zeros at the end of their loss, they could have marshaled more help.

I imagine it can be done if an engineer stamps the conversion plans and building inspectors sign off. 

I agree that diversification is important, as is family vacation time :) I think your numbers look pretty conservative, so potential for some upside perhaps and would imagine there are also tax depreciation benefits not factored. 

for the debate, why don't each of you imagine you have $50K to invest. 

I imagine we'll be receiving the mailed bills within the next week or so.As a reminder, you should review the 2nd installment bill to ensure the correct exemptions have been applied.Also, typically the bill for the first installment of the next year's bill is issued in December, and is due by March 1.

So you can imagine how much 45k is here, you can buy a nice house with that here, in some cities, not all.  

I truly feel if you can master that at your age you will be wildly successful beyond what you could currently even imagine. - that’s what I’d tell 19/20 yo me. 

I thought I could handle that city bc I went to college in Philly, and I couldn't possibly imagine anything being worse than the hoods around Temple, but boy was I wrong!!
