I personally built & own a 12 unit, 100% occupied (for last 3 years) multi-family , with 10.5 % cap, $115K gross inc, on 3 visually appealing acres, located within 3 minutes of a major military base (yet I have 50% "civilian tenant ratio"-thus my tenant base is diversified), 8 minutes from a recreational lake & tourist destination.  

Now just staying on the lending side like when you met me on the cruise..

They'll at least work part time or take up a full time hobby.I think life is more about doing something you love rather than just cruising along doing a job you are only semi passionate about.

I discovered this website just by cruising the web and I feel kind of overwhelmed by the amount of information and the myriad of people involved here ;-)Great site, Mr.

The other is an older gentleman who just wants to retire and cruise the country in an RV (the quintessential American retiree dream!)

If you know of a good cash flowing property that you don't want to buy because you might be on a cruise ship, please do let me know.

This means I am going to be already at the destination your "rocket ship" is heading for...waiting for you.

My wife and I discuss regularly how shockingly easy it is to make money (now that we have broken the code) we decided to take time out and go on a cruise then bought camper and took road trips all over. we were like, you know, we should go back home and buy some more houses.

This was a cold call (off market) deal and we have taken a mom and pop hotel and added value in many ways, increased occupancy and ADR (average daily rate), integrated with OTAs (online travel agencies) and increased marketing efforts to emphasize the strengths of the property as a destination for tourists visiting our region.

@Michael Greenberg, Sonoma has become so known for being a travel/tourist destination, they started limiting the option to have an air BNB due to multiple complaints from the local homeowners and residents about the amounts of traffic and other areas that had been severely impacted by all the visitors.
