Obviously it's good from a nature preservation point of view but it's a very different from an investment point of view. 

@James Wise Nailed it.

Hi Don,You’ve nailed one of the most important rules of passive investing: diversification.

What if the federal government (if they have to step in) say no, we are not going to allow you to rebuild and instead of using the funds to rebuild use the funds to acquire the land and preserve it?

That way, you might preserve some of your monthly profit while still knocking out that line of credit.

Quote from @Jesse LeBlanc: Friggen nailed it! 

Its taken some time out on the west coast but we did nail a 10 unit for a 7 cap right off of MLS in the portland market. 

I think @Scott Trench just about nailed this one! 

The property cash flows and I could definitely see each investor making at least $1000/mo with the most hands-off approach of renting to an operator and much more if a person ran it as STR or LTR and it is a great diversification play for me as Costa Rica should see much better appreciation than the Midwest, but if I were to cash out I could see five times the cash flow because of the power of leverage.But I think you hit the nail on the head in saying that it is a lifestyle type of investment.
