Every Girl Needs a Little Income Property.

If you're a woman over forty and especially if you are single — You've had the dream. The dream, nightmare really, has several variations but they all involve some or all of the following ingredients:

  1. being homeless
  2. having a shopping cart with all your beloved belongings
  3. an underpass or the area under a bridge
  4. befriended feral cats

All of my successful friends have had this dream. It makes no sense. We all intellectually understand that the likelihood of this dream every happening is slim to none and yet we all still feel vulnerable. But I have discovered the answer to making that bad dream stop and that answer is income property. Every girl needs some and mine is in the garden level of this house I have been working on for the past two years.

This whole adventure began one day before closing with a burst pipe that flooded the garden apartment and filled the cellar with 15,000 gallons of water. The garden apartment which I knew I would need to renovate anyway - was a total disaster.

Thankfully two years later, this all seems like a forgotten bad dream. Even though it is only one bedroom, It is light, bright and airy! See for yourself.

Two years from now, they tell me that I will be able to get rent that is in the high $3Ks zones. Until then, my son and daughter in law have moved in while he goes back to graduate school. So once again, I am blessed to have the whole family under one roof, with the promise of income property in my future!
