As you look toward your next property, I’ve been reflecting on how crucial it is to leverage opportunities effectively in this market.One thing I’ve learned from my own experiences is the value of collaboration.

Additionally, my wife and I plan to retire in NC (still a few years out from that ; ) but we're actively planning and focusing our investment strategy in the Raleigh-Durham area.

Be sure to track your activities.

Quote from @Marc Shin: why do some investors try to put their new STR's into service towards the end of the year when there is very little active income to offset? 

Start small with manageable properties, mitigate risk with house hacking or partnerships, and stay active in the community.

I would also be aware of any state laws related to cryptocurrency that might be active in your market. 

It sounds like you want more time, so active investing such as flipping or rehabbing might not be ideal.

The tahoe STR rental activity is down this year compared to the last 5.
