So now when they travel to Paducah KY for their kids traveling sports tournament, they are searching out Airbnb's instead of the Hampton Inn, in a town no one thinks of as an Airbnb hotspot.For work travel I'll stay in a hotel, but for ANY and ALL family travel, there's no way I'm giving up having a separate room for each of my kids.My mountain market revenue is flat-ish to up, but that's because I took over management from a PM and was able to do a much better job, so it's hard to get a pulse on my local market.

Holding onto a property merely for tax considerations is a dangerous gamble.

This is investing, not gambling.

I view this as a gambling puzzle.

So that seems like a gamble to me at 52 years old.

There is some industry in Albany, namely, Miller Brewing, Proctor & Gamble, and a small Marine base.

Stop hanging out with your deadbeat buddies who spend all day drinking, talking sports, and otherwise wasting away.

I am going to throw this out there , investing is always a gamble , you dont always win .

If you walked up to Michael Jordan and said, "I want to learn sports" he would walk away.

We dealt with rentals, flips, commercial, small apartment complex developments (~10 apartments), sport facilities, and a few government contracts.We are actually very open to different opportunities and investment approaches, but our plan was to start "smaller" with some cash deals in NJ (maybe somewhere in the area between Staten Island and Philadelphia, but staying in NJ), by flipping a few smaller properties and starting to generate some income.
