I will have a good chair when the music stops and won't miss a single nap.

I have found this to be spot on in my life (both in music and in sales).

Better than listening to the same music over and over like 99% of the sheeple out there punching time clocks into their 70s.  

Like downloading music illegally or sharing Netflix passwords.

That eliminates a lot of the talking, music, kid screaming noise.Another cheap option would be to buy a hallway runner carpet, and padding for under it and give it to your tenant.

There might be other advantages for the residents of states and countries that have an inheritance tax.Mind you, for those who still don't like it, they can still by through a Mexican corporation.

You can only listen to a good music playlist so many times..Now that I'm in the REI mindset, I'm excited to pair investing with my construction pursuits. 

I still love it- great music and food, good biking and climbing and world class kayaking. 

Rather than 'talk radio' or the news droning on in the background, or music i've heard a 1000 times before, I can just put the podcasts on in the background as I work on the house or mow the yard or watch the moon come up at the backyard fire.  

If you are not then you will see a ~$10k foreclosure sale, a resale less than a year later to an unwitting out of state investor for $50k, and the current attempt to sell it for $58k to get the current poor bastard out of the deal and cover the cost of the sale.Be very wary of becoming the next guy holding the hot potato when the economic music stops...I see rent rates have stopped rising and our local MLS shows an increasing number of days on market so I feel the music is slowing.Hope this helps!
