In addition these visitors added more than 14,000 hotel room nights to the community’s economic activity.Special EventsCraft breweries are taking advantage of the tourism trend and creating special events, such as Crow Peak Brewery’s (Spearfish, SD) annual shopping day “sip ‘n shop” which features local artisans also selling their goods, shows a recognition of adapting to combine social entertainment and shopping consumption for an increased economic impact in their community.

However, post Covid-19, the spike in industrial is due to the increase in the consumption of consumer staples, and in truth industrial is suffering a two-pronged situation similar to Retail.

I used to do two meet ups, one in Sugar land area and another one in 610 loop area.

@Ryan IngramThank you for not sugar coating.

Hi Christian, I recently purchased a duplex in SLC Sugar House area and this is what I did for my duplex analysis.

Try to put off consumption until your assets can pay for your consumption.All the bestGino

Current data (June 2022) for the major metro areas are:- Austin/Round Rock:  $537,475- Dallas/Ft Worth/Arlington:  $430,000- Houston/Sugar Land:  $350,000- San Antonio/New Braunfels:  $340,000I'm most familiar with San Antonio, and a lot of the excitement stems from the city's growth along the I-35 corridor toward Austin. 

For amounts that are based on metered consumption, another landlord out of Phila (Mitch Ripkin) gave me an approach I had never heard of previously; note that in some areas you might be considered to be a public utility supplier subject to gov't regulation so use with caution. 

You've also got experience renting, so it's not like you're new to this world.The advantage you have over other people is that you already understand the criteria for your investment.To summarize your criteria:Investment should be self contained, not requiring money earned from labor wagesInvestment should be profitable in 10+ yearsOn a scale of passive to full time job, @Ty Kirkpatrick's advice on investing in the paper side of things is the most passive, "buy and hold" would be somewhere in the middle, and full fix and flip would be the most time consumptive.

Said plainly, you'll always have a viable tenant pool because of this level of conspicous consumption.
