Florida has some of the most retirement-friendly tax laws in the USA, so that "silver tsunami" chart has me thinking "yes."

They also offer three pricing plans, like those bronze, silver and gold health insurance plans.

Silver lining was a stupid low mortgage, amazing cashflow and still decent COC return for a "failed BRRRR".Moving forward not much you can do but be very realistic going into anything new, and have A LOT of comps at your disposal.

The investors here that are good sources of information often don't reply to minor basic questions as it shows two things, IMO. 1. the person asking has put forth little effort on their own and expects to be spoon fed every beginning detail and 2. 

Caleb,My opinion is that some people have the ability to easily start a conversation with someone over the phone and have a (silver tongue) tact to but them at ease to allow for an open discussion.Others (myself) have the ability through body language, documentation, and resources (buyers) to illustrate to someone how I can help them and put them at ease for an open discussion.So you should know if you are best negotiating over the phone or by meeting in person with someone who needs you help and sell your plan to solve their problem through a painful time.

@Stetson Miller I forgot to mention the "silver tsunami" of baby boomers flooding to retirement who have plans were expecting traditional fixed income products to yield enough income to pay their expenses throughout retirement.
