<prompt> Human: I am 25 years old. I have a stable job as an innkeeperrestaurant manager where my salary 26k includes full room board food. I have no expenses aside from some online shopping, and small items at the store across the street. I may spend about 250 a month or so. I do not have a car, and use a free government cell phone. Anyway, after taxes and a years worth of expensestoys I am able to save about 13-18k... somewhere in that ball park at least.We are located near a major ski resort has been under EB-5 funded expansion for about 5 years in Northern Vermont, where real estate is very cheap. I can buy a duplex in the area for 70-100k. Rents would be about 6-800 per unit.I am toying with the idea of looking into a mortgage this summer. I should be able to put 20-25 down. My credit isnt terrible 636, but I did default on several cards in 2011. I just opened a new card a few months ago, hoping to improve my credit.My other idea, is to buy an early 00s porsche 996tt 50-90k miles for about 40k total after registration fees, transportation, insurance, etc. Dont judge a book by its cover though. This is a very bullet proof model, and likely near the end of the depreciation curve. Maintenance would be expected to be about 2-5k per year. Its the car I have always wanted. I would likely pay cash, but I am still a few years out.So if we do some math on the duplex:Purchase 90k.Finance 70k 480month 5750year call it 6kTaxes 1750 call it 2krent 650 X 2 units X 10 months just in case 13kThat leaves about 5k for misc expenses, but i also tried to factor on the low end. So figure 4 years to recoup my initial down payment.What are your thoughts? Should I sink all my money into a down payment, or hold out for the porsche?Thanks for the insight!  <response>: 40k car on a 26k salary. I think you know the answer.
