There is no way I could ever even take a stab rating my top ten tv shows, or films, or music...I can offer a few gems (guilty pleasures?) 

One of the units is currently occupied by a small Mexican cafe.

The cabin isn’t isolated so if a group is outside being loud or playing loud music our neighbors hear it very well.

Open up a cafe and use it to promote up and coming music acts and artists.

Those areas are the next to turn around, squeezed by Highland park and lawrenceville on both sides.Check out the north side/mexican war streets, there are a couple really nice areas there right next to some shadier areas up there, lots of young professionals though.I was at a rental flip down in brookline the other day, the 4 plex next door sold for $179k, so if the rents are about $750/unit, its about 1.6%.

I just did the same thing that you are considering.I ran my own music business for the past 12 years.I got burned out and decided a year ago it was time to move on.During that year I've spent tons of time researching, learning, posting here on BP, listening to podcasts, etc.Like you, I was able to put away some savings to live off the past year and get going with my REI aspirations.I'm 34 years old and as of today I'm focused solely on REI moving forwards!

Just a few years ago, HSBC got into hot water for not exercise such diligence (or looking the other way deliberately, more likely) and laundering billions for Mexican drug cartels.

I flew down and paid the loan off with Amex travelers checks and spent another 3k to put the condo into a Mexican Bank Trust, a requirement for foreigners who own beach front property.

BUT however, my main passion in life that I haven't mentioned is Music.
