Real Estate Investor living in RV Full Time

So my wife and I own a few rental properties but we decided about a year ago that for the time being, we wanted to live a minimalist lifestyle while our two kids are young. So we made preparations and in July this year we purchased an RV, remodeled it to fit our style, and have been in there ever since. Along with my wife, 2 yr old daughter, and one yr old son, we have two large dogs that stay indoors with us. Most people that I talk to about it give me strange looks when I tell them that we own rental properties but basically live in a tiny house (400sq ft RV) ourselves.

Eventually, we'll go back to having our own brick and mortar house, but this season is actually pretty fun for us and we've really been enjoying it. So far, I've started using the BRRR strategy to look for more properties and am refinancing two of my rentals, but there have not been any issues with the fact that we live in an RV.

I'm curious if any other investors out there have went with this approach to their own personal living situation.

Hey Jesse. My name is Ryan, and my wife and I live full-time in an RV. Do what fits your needs, don’t worry about everyone else.

My wife and I had 5 SFH and 1 multi-family, sold all, 1031 into a commercial RV park, now living for free since other people pay our living expenses. Best choice we ever made. We have 45 RV slots on site.

Let me know if you have further questions.

Cash-flow is King.

Best of luck.
