I spent some of the morning on the phone with Ross about the house I am thinking about buying. I have not seen Pam’s place, but I hear it is nice. I went to lunch with the guys from the office. When I got back I got ready to leave to get to Pullman. I was covering someone elses shift tonight.<\/p>\n
While en route I spoke with Ross for about half an hour about buying a house and working to make myself richer. He talked about buying Pam’s and renting mine. Then a few months later rent out Pam’s and buy another house. Continue to do that for a while as I build up a number of rentals.<\/p>\n
He said I could also afford a more expensive house. But the problem there would be once I get it, I would not very easily be able to save a lot of money, nor buy something else to build a small number of houses that I can rent and have someone help me earn some equity. But then there is the whole idea that I will have to pay to keep up the houses once people move out. It is a lot to think about.<\/p>\n
I got to Pullman just in time for my duty shift. I went to the station and put my Crew Leader crests on my helmet replacing the old Engineer crests. I did rig checks with the other guys. We pulled both rigs out to wash them because they were a little on the dirty side. <\/p>\n
When we were putting the Rescue back the emergency lights went on and we could not get them to turn off. I am not sure what the problem was, but we could not get them to stop. We tried a lot of things. So we ended up having Rescue out of service and had the engine as our primary response rig for the night.<\/p>\n
As it turned out there was nothing to speak of, in fact we did not get to go on any calls last night.<\/p>\n
When I looked at Pam’s place I realized mine is actually nicer than hers. My cabinets, the tile, and other things in the house made me feel like mine was nicer. But there was still a lot of stuff from the renters so it could have been some of that which was twisting my perception. If I do buy it I will have to move into it. <\/p>\n
Then I would rent mine, and I could probably rent it near to what I am paying for it. So it would not be a big hit to my pocket book. Then I would be on my way to owning two places.<\/p>\n
After checking out Pam’s place I thought mine was nicer over all. The cabinets that I have, the tile, and other features I like mine more. Including the fact I have shower doors and not curtains.<\/p>\n
We went to my place and talked for a little bit when a call came out. It was a utility problem. I went to the station, but we did not go on the call. So I sent the other guys home. Over other parts of the evening we got some more calls, but none of them were for us.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
