I'm in Louisiana and rent mostly to traveling workers like yourself. 

I would travel away from here for self storage more than an apartment, but like I said, it's sort of case by case. 

@Tomiko Graves Sorry for being late to the party- was traveling all week.

;Starting over, and not being considered for a conventional loan as a new 1099 earner; Will not get to travel for work anymore; Stable work environment with people that I enjoy working withThanks for taking the time to read/answer my 234235290 word essay :)

I’ll live in a low cost of living area and probably work on my business 6-9 months a year while then traveling and spending time with family.

Yup completely agree that vacation rentals are the way to go especially for folks who travel extensively, furthermore being asset-light makes it all the more appealing!

Remember to use this bank account for business expenses such as meals, car repairs, gas, tolls, business travel, home office expenses, and other items used in your business (i.e., iPad, laptop, etc.). 

Two reasons come to mind:1) As a last resort after exploring a 1031 exchange, I would sell to get the cash to finance other deals.2) Retire to go traveling and don't want to deal with the tenants and bills.  

My 5 year goal is to make enough in passive income to quit my job in order to spend more time with my two kids, travel more, and secure retirement.
