Is your garage door really short or are you seven feet tall? (Assuming that is a keypad..)
BTW congrats. |

Those were popular back in the late 50’s through 70’s here in Tennessee. My grandparents house had one here in Memphis. I wish I could find someone still making ones like from back then. I’d love to put one at my place.

DK, you still owe. Don't pay your property taxes and see what happens.
We own nothing. It's all a rental. Not to diminish the achievement. Can't wait until ours is paid off. Congrats!! I have also heard folks paint their doors red. Is that a thing? |

Never heard of that tradition. May have to buy an eagle. Doubt our HOA would allow it. Can’t wait to move away from the city and HOAs.

you know looking at OP's pictures again I recall seeing those in the 70's and 80's... not uncommonly..
I think back then I assumed it was some kinda patriotic thing. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By DK-Prof: Two years ago, when we bought the land,the build.cost could be.covered by the equity in the house. So everything looked good and was according to plan. Now, the cost to build has essentially doubled. So.we.cannot.afford.to build even a (significantly) scaled down version of the house we were planning.  Most.liekly,we.will.sell the land and consider other options. We'll still retire to.Hawaii  but we just won't be able to build on the dream lot we planned on.Some land up the hill from you in Kohala Estates is rumored to be getting divided up. Probably be 4 lots at 3 acres each. |

This is awesome.
I paid off my last debt on Friday of last week. Started getting very serious about it in 2021. Sold the boat that summer because I saw the interest rates coming and that cash became part of the paydown. |

We put my grandparent's eagle on our house 20 yrs ago. What happens if you borrow against it, due to lower rates and only borrow 20% of it's appraised value, to buy rental properties free and clear?
