@Collin H. has always preached the same thing from the beginning even when the bubble was inflating, he’s been around through other business cycles to see what happens in the smokies when the music stops.

As Claud Cockburn, a British Journalist, newly arrived in America observed, 'You could talk about Prohibition or Hemingway or air conditioning or music or horses, but in the end, you had to talk about the stock market.

Just as your first home purchase is seldom (exempting trust fund kids, star athletes, movie/music stars, etc.) your dream forever home, you first rental is seldom the luxurious beach front home in a great vacation market.  

Between sports, music, events, local government, shopping amenities, colleges, parks, science hubs, and it's great nightlife; Raleigh simply has it all.

Since we've lived here, they constantly have other kids over blaring rap music, smoking and drinking in their front yard and overall causing perpetual noise disturbance.I look at all of this through the lens of an entrepreneur who has to do what is right for his business.  

Try to see short trailer of 1996 musical comedy on youtube "Joes Apartment' about roaches taking over and dancing all over the apt. 

When a charter boat is out the music is blaring and people are dancing on the decks.

Work from home, sell online, become a TikTok influencer, have an Amazon storefront, self publish books, music and how-to courses.

Happy Birthday Josh, your a lucky man that this isn't a music forum so you don't have to hear my terrible singing. haha.

If the Fed were elevator music it would be narcoleptic.
