If you do this for enough years in a row you should be financially secure and everyone will be jealous how lucky you are! 

This new dynamic makes it crucial for CFOs and decision-makers to strategically navigate leases, using data-driven insights to secure favorable terms in a still-challenging market.As remote work continues to influence demand, the office market's recovery will depend on how companies adapt their real estate strategies.

After securing the deal, the buyer made my wife and I go through three-feet deep of snow to "winterize" the house so there wouldn't be any plumbing issues.It was a 2 hour drive there, and a 2 hour drive back.So much time and effort put into it for only $4k...

I’m a Superhost on that- we have people on the ground with maintenance, cleaning, security is fantastic .
