Randy I am afraid rates will go up a bit after Powell's press conference as he may indicate that they are likely going to pause on fed funds rate cuts. 

So my best advice would be to not make a clear cut decision yet, but keep your eyes open for an opportunity that gets you there.

The 65 year old lady that was struggling though her shift at Lowe's was cutting my blind.  

It looks to be heavily treed.Have you thought about having a timber consultant tell you if theres any value in having someone come in and cut down the timber? 

And there's not a huge short cut - if you want a $500k income from real estate, you're going to have to invest $5M at a 10% return, or maybe you're really good at this and can get a 20% return on $2.5M of invested cash. 

Let them build through hard work like teaming with reputable operator who may take a cut but own the project etc.Neal Bawa and associated companies are another bunch or lier’s who project rosy picture to sign up people but fial to deliver.Those two have made my experience with real estate very companies very negative.

Don't cut your renters any breaks on any items. 

The sentiment was that STRs are a critical part of Buncombe County so they don't want to cut them off.

As Plano is a pretty nice clean cut buttoned up type of community they don't seem to have a lot of tolerance even for just a few bad apples.Dallas is considering a ban. 

You will thank yourself it cuts down the calls by 90% in my experience.
