It's a little tough to show a 3/2, $900 a month rental in Texas while you are on a cruise in the Mediterranean.

It's a very big tourist destination right in the heart of the mediterranean.

I like to say that Indianapolis is like the tortoise and the hare--slow but steady which of course isn't for everyone.

The tortoise and the hare race each other, do you remember who wins the race?

I liken it to the story of the tortoise and the hare.

We have access to a reasonable amount of capital to get started and have great credit so I'm not concerned with being approved for financing once the right opportunity/ies is/are found.I am working on the what my goals are right now but my ultimate goal is to create enough income from investments (RE and otherwise) to leave W-2 work in the next 10 years, buy a sailboat, and sail the Carribean, Mediterranean, and eventually the South Pacific and Indian Oceans or, more to my wife's liking, do some slow-travel around the world stopping in places for 2-4 months at our own pace.

Additionally, the arrival of the Mediterranean fruit fly obliterated the large citrus industry.

Much more of the tortoise than the hare. 

Its the tortoise versus the hare, and we all know who won that one.I've had properties that have a lot of equity and little cash flow and I've had cash flow properties that have no equity, and frankly I prefer Mike's strategy of having both.

Its been years, maybe a decade since I revisited the site but my mom mentioned she often gets calls from people looking to buy the residential property in Highlands county for years now just as well, and proposed we built something on it.I'm more into the mediterranean and/or art deco style homes, but with materials price and the current buildup to an inevitable proxy civil war/collapse in america, dont find it worth it to start building a mansion there although the surrounding properties sure do look quite fancy.We were thinking of going the 'customized' manufactured home route.
