For Your Information I`m Not Rich

@andriaperry I studied some costing of your world...and I said to me..whoaa...America is simply not designed for have enough and enjoy the rest of life. 800+ is medical insurance, 4 properties of approx 100000 each means 400 towards insurance and 400 towards property tax per month. In one house you have live? So rent from 3 homes say 800 from each home = 2400. Provision of 400 for repairs pm and 300 for vacant premises. How much net remains in hand? 100 dollars! What are they talking about being rich in your world? You gotta live within 100 dollars per month! Unless you can get more than 800 per month from the rental properties. That 100 may also not be there, because money gets spent on transport. Only benefit is, rent and medical coverage.

Other countries say I am rich, it must not cost much to live there.

@vandana7 well, those numbers are off a bit but you get the point.

I remember an old saying now that you said that, Dim wits.

I think its more other countries that see it that way.

They live in other countries, it must be cheap to live there.

@andriaperry A waiter brought to you......no Andria, he's holding the glass for you to sip. You're the rich one.

@Juliaacv LOL, that`s right.

Laying on the beach sipping some fruity drink that a waiter brought to me. I do dream good though!

They like to say that so that they can make you feel guilty for being more comfortable than them and spare them some monies..

I am not poor and I am not rich. Yes where you are born does not matter how much money you earn.

@andriaperry Also being born Jewish does not make me rich like some people think we all are. I am comfortable and would like to be more than that with finding what I want to do here till I stop working if I can. Some people are good with money and some are not. I was not very good when I was growing up. Now, I try and watch what I spend money on here in Israel.

@andriaperry It is just as easy for tenants to flush junk they should not down the toilets and bring home bug infestations, and ride bicycles on the roof in new units as old.

When I do its going to be with new units

@GardenGerty I am thinking about less repairs, older homes had so many repairs, new are good for 20 years

@andriaperry That is so very true and depends alwyas on renting to people who are fair and treat the property right like it should be.

@lovinangelsinstead21 Only a couple tenants have respected me and the houses.

Yes and on those rentals I sell. If they cost more to keep up than I receive I see.

@andriaperry Rent is sky high here - always been - but still climbing. Right now - apartments - 2 bedroom in an ok area, nothing special, about $2200+ a month. I don't even know what renting a house would be. My friend's husband had several apartment complexes around the better places in L.A. (Southern CA) - so yah, they were filthy stinkin' rich. I can't even imagine any rent being less than $1000 around here !

Maybe they owned in a higher rent town or state, I know In Florida rent is around $1,000 per month and up. Here its half or less.

@much2say See rent is cheap here in this small town.

Hmmmm, the least a renter could do is pay the property taxes as well as the rent @andriaperry but that would be in a perfect world, ohhhhh weeeellllll.

I want to open up a cult where they all follow my rules and pay me rent, they work on the houses.

@rebelann I can dream!

@andriaperry That would be a great idea. I try my chance time by time buying a lottery ticket, I only win very little sums.

@LadyDuck I never win so I stopped buying them all together and bank those dollars.

I can see me getting rid of these older homes and setting up new on the empty land, when I get rich

Yes you do.

@spiderdust LOL, no never!

Homes are money pits! They never tell you that when you're buying one.

At one time, when I rented to the extreme poor, it was. Actually @TheHorse made a statement when I was ranting about a tenant, he said "what kind of people are you renting to?" So I thought about it and they were all poor white trash. I had cheap rent. I looked up MY rights and started there. Then I stated rules and the price of rent in the windows if each house up for rent, now all I get are good hard working people.

@andriaperry I can remember that comment of @TheHorse and how you said at the time you were going to change things. You've done really well but none of it has come easily.

@JudyEv someone said, I don`t remember, "anything worth something is hard work."

Are you all moved?

@Courage7 Only 40 more days.

@andriaperry Oh heck no Angie. I am far from moved yet. I wont be able to get out of here til Oct 31st or sooner if something changes. Got a long ways to go yet.

@andriaperry When I thought of doing, I thought about how big a job would be to start and decided that I had enough with what I had. I did not count on getting ill and the amount of money that means.

Yes it is but now, for the most part its small things.

@andriaperry That's good that you don't owe any loans.

Most people my age still owes loans for the house they live in, I do not owe any loans.

@andriaperry well it’s a lot cheaper here. But your situation is like in Australia. And repairs are costly for you cause you actually pay people hourly as in Philippines we pay them per job and it’s really cheap..

In your country things may be different than here, I don`t know the cost of living or the price of property taxes

you are so right about it. It is my own assumption. My apology

I never said I was poor. But I am not rich either. I live okay but when I was poor I lived okay too.

@andriaperry

Come on down!

No I was told I am rich because of my business.

@andriaperry ok. They dont know how hard business is nowadays. You cant get rich overnight

@Janet357 I agree.
