My income has dropped significantly bc I chose to sell my business and take a more relaxed job so I would stop killing myself.  

For example, if your lease expires 12/31 how many people are actually going to be motivated enough to move after the holiday season and in the midst of winter?

While her and her husband relaxed on a beach me and my guy froze our butts of completing the job.

(Nights, weekends, and holidays are shot in Hospitality and Unions have great benefits).

I graduated from ECU in 1992, started a small business that has been open to the public in the same location for 32 years while slowly and methodically built this small RE retirement portfolio and with our last one set to graduate next year,  I'm ready to retire and relax. 

The only challenge we ran into was the tenant needed an extra week to vacate the property, also this occurred during the 4th of July holiday so a little stress but the property had to be delivered vacant so we made sure that happened.

All year round North Conway and Jackson host monthly activities like Apple picking, Pumpkin carving, Host all the Major Holidays, Christmas, Thanksgiving, Easter, Mothers Day, Fathers Day, Halloween, Turkey Trots, Winter Ice plunges and more. 

FX, Crypto, Flipping Houses, Sub2, Gold and Silver, Rare Earth Metals, Day Trading, Bernie Madoff, Vending Machines, Car Washes, Amway, any MLM.....whatever the dream of the day is.In all of them, you can make money, you can get rich, but almost always it takes a lot of hard work, blood, sweat, tears, missed holidays, working on weekends, money, risk, stress.

It will also dramatically lower my risk profile so that I can relax in retirement. 

REI Live is one meetup group in Sarasota put on by some major players in the area, another local one started up and has a FB group called Suncoast Real Estate Investors that was meeting monthly, there’s another larger one that meets at the Bradenton yacht club for lunch buffet monthly, and one more that meets monthly at a Holiday Inn near Der Dutchman off Bahia Vista.
