A few people travel from Daytona just to come to the meetings. 

Got back from traveling. 

Living in a great travel destination like Sonoma you should consider a duplex or triplex and operate the other unit(s) on AirBNB, VRBO, etc.

If long-term rentals don’t cash flow, short-term or mid-term rentals (Airbnb, traveling nurses, corporate stays) might work better.

The down side is that STRs are more work, need to furnish it, pay for utilities and WiFI but in the right market (vacationers and business travelers) it could work. - If I were looking at cash flow as a really important important metric, I'd consider starting a business.

We also use Travelers and Proper.

My goal is to create generational wealth for my family and to eventually have the financial freedom to say "yes" to travel adventures as a family. 

If you need income that'll be a certain set of options if you're trying to free up time and not be responsible for property management because you're planning to travel in retirement that'll be a different direction.

There are many more and many more personal goals such as getting married and starting a family, adopting my first GSP dog, traveling to Wyoming and Montana and spending more time in nature, just to share a few.

And while short-term rentals are the big draw here, there’s also growing demand for mid-term rentals from snowbirds and traveling professionals, as well as long-term housing for the increasing number of permanent residents.Yes, higher interest rates are a factor, but the strong rental demand in the Panhandle often helps offset those costs.
