For us we are co-sponsors on 2,600 doors so we are focused on Lifestyle STRs where they will generate very good cash flow and where our family can spend a couple weeks out of the year there.   

You’re right, I’m just always conscious on spending the right time on the right tasks.

If you look at the house as a nice place to live which satisfies the 3 Ls (location, layout, lifestyle), then paying ~$500/m is awesome!

The low cost of doing business, diverse business base, availability of professional and skilled workforce, intermodal transportation hub and quality lifestyle continue to attract people and business.

As a "boomer" I am familiar with the RV lifestyle (although many RVers are no longer in the workforce).

And yes, they are very energy conscious.  

I’d say income wise, we live a fairly comfortable life style with little debt, slow growing savings, and regular traveling.

Might not seem like a lot to some, but that helps a great deal in my lifestyle.

Currently I live in Florida but I’m open to moving to another state and a smaller town lifestyle.
