If I can scrape up enough to purcahse a slightly rundown house in the next few years I would like to renovate it and use the extra $$ to purcahse another, etc. etc. In fact, my long term goal would be to work for an airline, stay on reserve, and use the time off to renovate. I personally like the option of guaranteed income coming in, even if it's not much.
