Randy Hey Randy,Thank you for the beautifully written response.

Real estate naturally lends itself to putting more money on the line because of entry prices, and that not only potentially benefits your compounding, but strategies like the 1031 and basic leverage help you maximize with pre-tax dollars.

And once I get done with this issue, yeah, that's when you do annual lease review/renewal and move rents to market or near market and let the nature of it all work itself out. 

The studio has large windows on both sides of the unit so i do not want to loose any of that natural light, and I am thinking of eitherA - Doing a full glass partition wall with glass door, with smart glass that can frost to create privacy when in use and allow sunlight when not in use to both sides of the apartmentorB - Doing a higher end full wall foldable partition on a track that closes the whole new "room" into a bedroom but can close back up and fold away to make it a studio again if not in use.Thanks for your input

Really make them feel like it's theirs to enjoy.Overall your beautiful house doesn't look very homey. 

I'm particularly passionate about building wealth via real estate investment.Outside of real estate, I enjoy being out in the nature .. 

We fought for this for several reasons: 1. tourism is our main economy 2. there are an incredible amount of dilapidated homes that could be renovated and made beautiful if the investment return justified it (which STR in a beach town could) and 3.this is a family-friendly, lower-cost and now COVID friendly way to travel. 

Hi Matthew,I second the idea of skimming through the beautiful rabbit hole of Pinterest to get ideas and brainstorm.  

The lake's beautiful setting attracts tourists, making it a lucrative spot for STRs, especially during peak tourist seasons.STR operators in Oklahoma generally need to adhere to zoning laws, licensing requirements, and may be subject to taxes such as sales and lodging taxes.

As someone that's traveled (13 year Army veteran), I saw the value and still think prices here are extremely reasonable for all the natural beauty and access to amenities.Interest rates have priced a lot of first time home buyers out of the markets.
