It makes the most sense to me, at least, since I don't have "20% down" stuffed in my mattress for a rainy day right now.

So I used black garbage bags and double bagged some of that mattress memory foam and shoved it up in in the hole on either side of the handle for the flue.  

However, if they then sell it 3 years later when the house is worth $475,000, they pay capital gains taxes on the $75,000 of gain.Now let's say your mom has this house and also several million dollars worth of furs, jewels, classic cars, stocks, bonds and gold stashed under the mattress.  

When you are done investing and near the grave it makes no difference if you bury your cash in a mattress or a property.

Paying off a mortgage is like sticking cash under your mattress.

A little about me: My name is Federico Portalupi and I work Retail management full time, I have been with Mattress Firm for 9 years and I love my company but I think creating multiple revenue streams is important especially at the age of 33.

I suspect they left behind old mattresses, worn or broken furniture, clothes, tupperware, and other junk.

Worst part was when we sent the staff in to clean it out the bed still had dried brain matter & skull pieces all over it, along with blood stains all over the mattress.

I still can't say what you should do, but right now people are paying prices for 4plexes here that make my head shake sometimes and that is a good opportunity for you ;) I am re-allocating from value to cash flow plays as well.There are also many people who are not in a position to take millions in net worth and put it under the mattress. 

Your husband can take the money he earns and stuff it in his mattress.
