Of course, you maximize cash flow after the property is paid off, but the longer you hold a property, the more cash flow you'll enjoy.

I am either enjoying the sunset in a far-off Caribbean Island with all the money I have from RADD or slaving away back where I belong at Fort Bragg (Liberty) NC for the government to ensure our great SOF Warriors have the appropriate knowledge, skills, and abilities to protect our Nation and people like you who enjoy the ability to freely post on blogs, threads, etc. such as Bigger Pockets without any real knowledge of what they post.

I enjoy finding creative ways to monetize normally overlooked spaces at my rental properties. 

However, though I don't know the actual numbers it seems like the home would offer so many more amenities I would enjoy as well.

I've actually enjoyed living in this high-density neighborhood -- more privacy than an apartment or townhome, more social and walkable than a suburb. 

Here are some quick stats to consider:Tangible Asset: Real estate is a physical asset you can see and touch, which can provide peace of mind.Cash Flow: About 33% of homeowners rent out their properties, generating consistent income through rent.Appreciation: Real estate appreciates by about 3-5% per year, while the stock market averages around 10% but with more volatility.Tax Benefits: Investors enjoy deductions on mortgage interest, property taxes, and depreciation.Control: You can actively manage and improve your property to increase its value.Just take it step by step, and you might find real estate is less risky than it seems.

This tenant is violating the lease, and compromising the peaceable enjoyment of their neighbors' homes. 

At the end of the day, Panama City Beach and Destin offer more potential for consistent returns, fewer regulatory headaches, and the added perk of a beachside escape you can actually enjoy.

I do enjoy underwriting and researching deals a lot, so I would welcome that part of it.

would love to hear more about this, visited lisboa this past year and really really enjoyed it and the surrounding areas.
