I am busy investing (licensed as well), raising three boys ages 10 and under, being a decent spouse and trying to keep somewhat of a fitness regime...lol

I have my popcorn with a tall glass of diet milk waiting for this answer. 

Not exactly a budgeter's diet!

You know the horitzontal property regimes.. and one went to an out of area investor looking to rent rooms.. what i learned if you dont have your rooms committed to by middle Aug.. there is a very big over supply of rentals at least there was last year at this time.. and there is a huge amount of new student housing being built.. in my mind rentals could be over built in charleston at this time. 

When I finish this book called "The Drunk Diet", it's going to be placed in the box of shared books in the refinery administration building. 

i support having C/D class paid for  assuming thats what you run in Milwaukee.. as for letting us old folks kack off cant get behind that one  :)  you know 65 is the new 45. 65 is absolutely the new 45 and you'll be just fine - I suggest a healthy diet!

From my point of view, as an investor that prefers lower leverage and not needing to have 1000 properties, it has been nice to hear that compared to what used to be a steady diet of keep BRRRRing and never stop.

For me, I have more energy and am happier when I work out and eat a somewhat healthy diet (and it definitely recuces stress).

Higher crime screams for regime change and low property taxes means less money to spend. 

But start to get out of the SAD (sad american investment diet).Real Estate Investments: Cash flow and appreciation aside for you as a high income earner over 400K AGI its going to be more about saving taxes.
