My goals for RE -  Create WIN/WIN situations for everybody involved in a deal, but understanding that WE need to make money to become efficient.- Creating a presence in the local market and working with other investors / realtors.

The issue I have seen is the centralize kitchen and recreational area in an ALF that's not in a apartment.

The market seems to tell me exactly what I need to do with out recreating the wheel.

After having several discussions with other swappers, I realized that many of them are using 2nd homes, or vacation homes for additional benefits.My question for the BP community is whether there is an investment strategy anyone has used in this arena, or is it really just for recreational use of a vacation home?
