The last thing I want to do is deal with a catastrophic issue while I’m galavanting across the globe or have to drop everything because I’ve decided I had enough.

I rent out the rooms.What I’ve learned is having a room w a private bathroom is golden for my tenants they typically come from other roommate situation sharing a bathroom, having a private bathroom they see it as a luxury..Typically when rooms are rent out utilities are included, high speed internet is most important Utility for them..

While my experience is only a sample size of one, what I've seen is a lot of upper age Baby Boomers getting fed up with Austin and moving to places like Bastrop or Elgin to buy fixer uppers that they spend their golden years fixing up.

The hours at my job couldn't let me visit family who lived halfway across the globe - that's why have have a flipping business.

So no money out of pocketUnit rental Cash flow = $850Excess Parking Cash Flow = $2,000 Gross per month, I split it 50/50 with the person who runs the parking lot, I net $1,000 per monthEstimated Value = $400,000This is a golden goose :-) 

They need to slash the golden parachute of "human-cat" programs, force people to work vs "Netflix & Chill" for $. 

@Steven Jean-Jacques we are coming into a golden age of skip tracing.

Golden advice right here.

If you had assumable debt fixed in the 3's for 7 to 10 years you were looking pretty golden to sell in this market if you had to or wanted to.

Then you can a assume you will get what FHA says they will do.....Golden Rule ---  They have the gold so they make the rules....
