    If this were a house forum, I'd pick the house.

    If I were going to choose a coin over a house, it would be something considerably more exciting than a Lincoln Cent.

    We've been buying houses in Columbus OH cheaper than that. If you include all the improvement costs, we're averaging about 30k a unit, and getting rents from $500 - $750 a month depending on the location. These are not dumps although they are in more urban areas. We've improved them to the point that they look almost brand new (We've redone almost every interior and exterior surface). The cheapest was a 2200 sq ft double for under 7k (it needed about 40k in work). I have no doubts the OP could get a nice place that needs little work for that price.

    It's a greast system for us and our renters. They can not get money to purchase, but we can provide them with a quality place to live while they help us generate cash flow. To keep it coin related, when good coin deals come up, we are storing some of our cash reserves in coins until we need them for the next place. I guess in a weird sense, we convert coins into houses into income.

    Alright, I feel like an infomercial. I'll shut up now.

    this reminds me of a joke


    What does a divorce in Arkansas and a tornado have in common ?
    In both cases, someone is going to lose a trailer.

    There's no place like Home ... there's no place like Home.

    OK, i bought the house, and since I won't have a mortgage anymore, maybe I can grab the coin in a few months.
