I am pulling for the Pats since it is my Wifes team and I like Brady from his Michigan days, but I think the Giants have a better defense and that will be the difference in the game. Giants by 1 score Fg or TD, but a drive.

till the government decides to just take it back from you. you still pay property tax so imo you have a negative cash flow instead of a positive one at this point. and rentals are a good way to build up your nest egg. get value out of them for however long you need it, then sell the place and put the proceeds into a better property with higher value so as to avoid the taxes of the sale. win.
Ya , I pay hella taxes man, about the average salary here for the average worker's wages. But when my parents bought this property they paid like $600 an acre. I bought it from them for $1000/ acre. Right now in a down market, property here goes between $3,000 and $3,500 per acre where I live, plus my parents bought it from the state back in 1981 and it has never been logged, probably$500,000 in lumber alone. Also I guide hunts here for deer, turkey and coyotes, and that pays a decent amount during those seasons, we also lease 100 acres to the neighbor to farm, so thats income also. I have had bad experiences in the past from rentals, lost money more than once, turned me off.
