Hey @Devin Bost, so if I need to ship something direct, I just ship it to my lake house and my neighbor will go and put it in the garage for me.I then let my cleaner know about whatever it is, usually toiletries and the like, so she can put them away.I am about 7 hours away from our rental so I do drive over 2-3 times a year to take a look, make small repairs and stock up stuff.

You're going to have cancelations because nobody OOS can safely travel.

Do you avoid driving because you might get in an accident? 

I personally would not want to drive around this neighborhood knocking on doors for rent.

., we have a 2700sqft 4/3 lake house.We charge $250 to the guests and pay $300 to our cleaner.Now we are out of town by about 36 miles so the cleaner has to drive an hour each way so she charges us more. 

Do you go knock on the door pre-sale while driving around doing your property inspections?

It's like buying a Yugo and then complaining it doesn't drive like a sports car.You ALWAYS end up getting exactly what you PAID for!

We have soil made up of mostly clay, rock, and some sand so digging footers or basement of any kind can dramatically drive up costs.

And the pace of homes being built is too far below what we need to keep pace let alone catch up to where its only going to get worse.And that is going to drive up inflation big time.

I own a duplex in Englewood, FL, just a 10-minute drive from the beach.
