Florida also have many more high end places than Oklahoma (we are much more of a blue collar city in my experience). 

I used my house hacking here in Los Angeles and utilized the equity to buy out of state.

I don't like seeing a bunch of blue haired nerds running around crying about how evil their landlord's are for forcing them to pay their rent on time, but I don't want being a blue haired nerd to become a criminal offense.

I've consistently written about the forces of nature and her current and future effects on the real estate market (even while often being ridiculed and politicized on this very site for it) regardless: I personally moved and invested in coastal Oregon in 2018 from Venice Beach Los Angeles partly as a result of the trajectory of climate and have assisted several clients that specifically purchased on the Oregon Coast for their own 'climate havens,' investment and future retirement homes. 

The one in default is a property in Culver City, CA (Los Angeles).

I'll be the bald one in a blue Kentucky polo, unless my manbun dreams miraculously come true in the next few hours.

I have managed STRs for 10 years in Los Angeles, so I understand the business and operations.

I want to find something local (Los Angeles area), move in, do small renovations to possibly build up more equity, do a 1031 exchange, and find something better. 

Asheville: Asheville is in the Blue Ridge Mountains, so it's a very outdoors focused community.

Happy to chat.Los Angeles is an appreciation play.
