Other than rain of course ;) Cost of living was low, taxes were low, personal freedom was high, I really liked the culture that used to exist here too before pretentious yuppie corporate culture completely took over.

While doing my cold calls today, I ran across an elderly woman who is 92 years old.

I ran numbers on a lot of these "cashflow states" and real life they don't cashflow much of at all when running out of state with management/leasing and accounting for property cap/ex such as averaging out cost of roof, hvac, etc. and accounting for turnover costs.

I think the welcoming culture and the sharing of knowledge is my favorite aspect of the biggerpockets community.

But I ran across a home 2 days ago and it's a 1st time flipper who is apparently in trouble.

c) Take HELOC on Duplex(i got denied a lot since lots of banks are only giving it to primary residence)d) Sell my Primary residence and use the equity for another mortgage down payment on my new primary and buy one more  rental (i ran the numbers and it will be a little tight but doable)Thank you so much for your input!

And if you move inland how much will you miss the beach culture, because it is different.

Bottom line - its kind of a street rat culture, lots of low-level hustler types who like to post checks to their social media, rent flashy apartments, and other silly stuff, but the good ones do well.  

The way I ran my numbers was to cover all my costs durIng peak months with some profit and then extra profIt durIng the off season.Few Example expenses:Cleaning- needs to get done before every new renter.

If you have one of those cool shower inserts like you see at Home Depot all is great and cheap, if you have tile and cultured marble and the like the price skyrockets quickly.
