In 1983, my husband and I were unable to sell our house when we wanted a larger house in a better neighborhood. I was 28 and inexperienced. We were lucky enough to stumble across Leigh Robinson's book. We bought the new house, kept the old house as a rental. We followed his book to the letter, kept the rental for 10 years had positive cash flow and made a bundle in appreciation. In 2017, I am older and more experienced.
