lolCatch a last minute flight dude ;)Spirit has flights for like $120 from Detroit lolI have on my to-do list for 2015 to attend 20 events, conventions, expo's etc...Along with meeting 3 new people every week lolSo yeah, gotta go.Plus I killed it this week.

The FAA guidance requires a private pilot's license, a class two medical certificate, a spotter, flying no closer than 500' from a building or people, getting prior approval of all flights from 3 to 1 days prior to flight, etc.  

Out in the mid west its a combination its either there is far more houses than people to live in them so prices plumment... or you have inner city issues with what called White flight and the areas turn into ghetto type slums.. its those areas were cheap homes are avalaible and investors who really don't know what they don't know get sucked into buying them thinking that rents will acutally come in on a consistant basis which just is not the reality ..

No flight is necessary; families may travel in their own socially distanced comfort. 

On a flight right now, and just happened to see the inflight map, and there it was.

My goal is to live for 'free' and ideally cash flow (which I know is really unlikely in the Bay).My worry list:- I couldn't cover PITI on my own for long, if it came down to it- Wildfire smoke beginning to be an ongoing reality in the Bay - COVID eviction challenges (in the case a tenant loses a job and can no longer pay)- Old house; potential major repairs coming down the pipes- Don't love the idea of three people working from home in the main house- Concerned about flight out of the Bay Area and potential impact on housing marketIf I say no to this opportunity, my plan would be to house-hack in Portland, OR with SFR rent by room or duplex. 

Buy a small 2 bedroom condo and rent one room to a family member or work colleague or a nurse or flight attendant.Interest rates are super low right now.Everyone is talking about inflation with the amount of money the FED is pumping into the economy....so you think, even on a $100,000 or $200,000 property a 1% rise in interest rates cost you $1000-$2000 a year for the 1st few years. 

@Trevor Reed  I have definitely considered Texas, primarily because from where I live in Paso Robles, Ca we have a few direct flights to Dallas, I love and appreciate the people and lifestyle of Texas as whole, and could certainly see myself relocating there full or part time one day.

., tax avoidance transactions where people with gains in the hundreds of millions range fabricated offsetting loses and got absolutely crushed (and this was with supporting tax opinions in hand and top flight tax people defending them at great expense).

Aside, I really hope this means once international travel demand picks up, that there's more international flight connectivity from Austin.
