I listened to the podcast a bunch of great points were made.Grant seems to have a message and way of living life that he wants others to embrace and follow.

I was reluctant at first.... but as I have come to embrace this site..when I first popped on there was this poster named Joe Gore and he really gave me a hard time  LOL  Frankly you get what you put in and the people you meet are pretty interesting to Very interesting.. although as with all internet dating..

., were here pumping money in the local economy while the beach tourism was non existent during the spill & clean up. 

You can cut car costs significantly have pretty reliable transportation & get around while building wealth.One final thing I’m starting to embrace more is buying a car from an insurance auction & having a mechanic friend repair the car decently so you own low mileage with no car payment or the best of both worlds.

As far as the Black Hills of South Dakota, the major industry there is tourism.

All my properties produce positive cash flow, they continue to grow equity, which I pull out, and I have all the reserve funds I will ever need without having to let cash sit stagnant not earning it's keep.This is not a investment philosophy that ultra conservative real estate investors could ever embrace.

Unrelated to investing per se but relative to fundamentally addressing the real world practices of effecient infrastructure in residential buildings as a whole is the extreme and profound unwillingness of individual property owners to actually embrace and implement equipment & methodologies to mitigate the "purported" climate crisis.From my myopic perspective having to fight with residential customers who have zero knowledge of thermo dynamic, ohm's law and efficiency measures is highly hypocritical.People claim to care but are closed minded to energy saving and efficient operating homes.End rant

We have agriculture 2.6-2.4 billion, Military and Yuma Proving Ground  2.2 billion, and tourism 2.1-1.8 billion. are our sources of income.

If I don't want a job and am truly a passive investor, I will embrace the charge!

I have a deal thats a vacation hotel in Delaware that is cash flowing nicely and doing very well but lenders are hesitant to lend on seasonal rentals when the tourism industry has taken a huge hit.
