Cities like Minneapolis, Boston, and Atlanta are showing how public parks can do more than provide green space—they can drive commercial development and job growth.

Buy a townhouse in this development near where I live called Sea Colony:Details: $860k for a comfortable townhouse.Pros:Comfortable place to live for the next few years, and I’d still have liquidity to invest elsewhere.It is still in my current community where all of my friends live, so I would still be where I want to be location-wise.Will get appreciation.Cons:High HOA fees ($660/month) and potential 10k special assessment in the next few years.Likely won’t cash flow after we move, so unsure whether it would make sense to hold.3.

The main issues are: 1. gross revenue has been less than half the projections the PM initially provided and what is on AirDNA, and 2. gross revenue has dropped 30% from last year to this year despite me investing over $125K in improvements (new pool, new fire pit, new landscaping, new dog yard). 

Most homeowners shift to winter rentals during those months to keep some cash flow.If you’re planning to use the property yourself for two weeks in the summer, it’s important to keep in mind that it will take away a significant chunk of prime revenue, which will make it harder to break even or generate solid income.If year-round traffic is a key factor for you, you might want to look into areas down south or near a National Park, but with the right property and strategy, Cape Cod can still be a good investment—especially if you’re looking to have something to enjoy and eventually leave to your kids. 

So the increase in revenue probably ends up being 5-6%.Maybe I am over estimating the cost though.

Most owners of short-term rentals on the islands and the nearby areas have been dealing with the triple whammy of a slowing economy effecting rental revenue this year, higher insurances and higher property taxes.

Half of Squares revenue is coming from BTC transaction fees - they also recently bought $50m worth.

Once the project is complete, their monthly payments would drop from $1,000 to just $60 with the rental revenue coming in.

Requiring xyz% of new housing to be affordable....find me the studies that indicate this will actually lead to housing affordability....eliminating the 10 year tax abatement that unlocked revenues that are 10x what the city of Philadelphia would've collected on many parcels that would never have been developed if not for the 10 year tax abatement etc.....

For example In my situation we like to say i’m the sword and shes the shield, as in I go out and look for investments and develop the skills I need for it and shes the budget and risk analysis.
