They had movies called things like "Escape from New York" and "The Warriors."  

Sure they're about the warrior mindset, but in a way, what we do requires that very mindset (IMHO).....

If you want to donate to wounded warriors or something then just do that !!

I will not get trapped in comfort zones that will keep me from moving forward but will embrace the warrior spirit within me and move steadfastly toward the prize with nothing to hide, nothing to prove, and nothing to fear, giving all glory to God.

But, that’s a difference between a guy doing it for 25 years and mr “barely weekend warrior” here.

If you have more than 5% vacancy in your market right now, you likely need a new market or you are charging too much in rentCAPEX: 10-20% (I lump repairs and maintenance into CAPEX and some spreadsheet warrior will probably yell at me in all caps for it) but this number is dependent on the age/condition of the property and I keep a CAPEX max balance. 

The benefits are still pretty sweet: we get TriCare now, even just as "weekend warriors." 

@Jimmy Dang Did you see Fred VanFleet light up the Golden State Warriors last night in the 4th quarter?

"long term" usually trips at the 30 day mark, these seems problematic as it does take away a lot of the market if you are looking to pursue the Air BNB model and weekend warriors during the summer months but there is a local market for 30+ days and folks are doing quite well as there is a large contractor, nurse, government presence in the area... just food for thought.As far as true STR goes reach out to planning in Va beach to get the actual information regarding what is and what is not allowed and where. 

If have any leads on houses in Tyrone, State College, Port Matilda, Warriors Mark or anywhere in between and not of interest to you please let me know.
