I'd love to hear from any real estate investors who live half the year abroad (Europe - especially France) and half the year in the USA (sunny California, in my case). 

Our detached garage is about 325 square feet now and half of that space was legally converted to a recreation room with a bathroom in the 80s.

And I am half way through the 2 books I mentioned!

A problem well articulated is half solved. 

Typically about 75-125 people in the room and probably half or more own or manage rentals. 

We went from a 2 bedroom 1 bath home on a little under a half an acre to a 4 bed 3 bath home and an extra building the prior owners called the "pottery barn" that sits on 2.5 acres in town.

Honestly even at the sub 300kpp I could come up with easily half a dozen areas in the state, i’d rather be in the Baltimore.

This has more upside but there is a situation where you run out of cash half way through and get stuck. 4.

The estate offers 9 bedrooms, 10 full & 3 half baths, bowling alley, indoor basketball court, theater, 3 swimming pools, 3000 sf master closet, housekeepers quarters and much more.

A major incentive for sellers (and buyers) is an assumable mortgage often at nearly half current mortgage interest rates. - Shorter duration and term.
