@Connor McGinnis It is more of a lifestyle choice.

I'm only here for the next 1 to 1 1/2 years; until we move on to our next investment asset and life style. 

Thanks to the eduction we've received at BP, my husband and I have made massive changes to our lifestyle recently, and begun moving our six figure savings from places it was doing us no good, and into smart real estate investments.

Aligning decisions with financial goals, risk tolerance, and lifestyle preferences is crucial.Good luck!

Dozier's lifestyle.

It's not quite a passive as the RE world makes it out to be (we self manage our own properties)... but it is a very nice lifestyle.  

tend to believe everyone is motivated by money; people who are lifestyle motivated think everyone is motivated by the least amount of time expended; people who are risk adverse can’t believe other people are willing to “bet” on outcomes even when the odds are clearly in their favor. 80% of the time (IMO) people who make decisions we disagree with are not making stupid, ill informed decisions or being “tricked”; they just have motivation, needs and desires different that our own.  

As you might know already, a lot of big corporations and wealthiest people of the US have moved to Miami area in the past 2 years as well as families who follow better lifestyle for their children's future and themselves. make sure you buy a somehow unique product (for ex; water view, flexible layout, high ceilings, building amenities etc). 2.

Especially starting out, you're never going to get anywhere if you don't manage to get full and complete control if you don't have an absolute grasp on all your personal finances, if you don't know about lifestyle creep and the hedonic treadmill, if you or the person handling your money can't pinch a penny until the shield dents.4.
