re: #225 Semper Fi

My brother still lives in the area. A very handy man who spends his time buying little old houses, fixing them, then renting them. He has about 25 or 30 now. He pays anywhere from 25 to 50k per house. A real deal but only buys if he’s sure it can be rented.

My brother did that…has about five or six houses and a few four-plexes in Northern California and he lives off the rent. Says he likes ex-cons and people who have declared bankruptcy because they’re desperate to have a home and pay their rent in cash - so he doesn’t have to claim it as income. He’s a bit of a wing-nut though…thinks Obama’s a muslim, hangs out with some guys who actually do have buried weapons up in the mountains “just in case”…but they are fun to get drunk with every once in a while.
