@nicole sJust take some capital and invest in a flight ticket.

If flights are $500, hotel $200, a couple meals out, rental car/uber, on top of all the other costs of owning rentals, that significantly burdens profit.  

That drive is about the same as a flight out of oak to the midwest lol...Side note, when I was a kid I was very confused why clear lake was full of NASTY green moss lol.

Are you in a flight path.

For example leave out Haiti, Cuba, Puerto Rico, etc. legal ownership1031 exchange with US property 1031 saleProperty taxesProperty types as follows:Ocean frontOcean view- one block offOcean view- hill viewNext to tourist areasNear tourist areasWithin 2 miles of tourist area within golf cart range1st world constructionSwimming pool and verandaHurricane constructionDirect flights from?

I would add to those questions the following:Do you have any reports such as highest and best use, environmental, etc.Are there any known pertinent factors such as close to a dump, sewer treatment plant, airport flight path, train tracks, etc.Make sure you check with the fire department to see if the parcel has fire hydrants close enough, if not, do you need to add and how many and does the current line support the addition of more hydrants.

They are definitely building the plane while in flight.  

We also have used the 10% savings rate while we were deployed, and re-enlistment bonus payments, as well as tax-free, hazard pay, family separation pay, hostile fire, flight pay...whatever we could scrounge up...we used as down payment funds. 

And $1,143,000 is enough to retire comfortably to a more affordable country, so what’s the “flight risk” here?
