This unique blend of economic opportunity and lifestyle appeal positions these cities as prime locations for both investment and personal residence.You mentioned Roan Mountain and Watauga Lake.. both are fantastic draws.

I hope you can achieve your ideal lifestyle.

@Kody SmithDepending or your time, lifestyle, goals, and time to exit, the Reno, NV market is worth looking at.

Those rentals debt serviced and also covered my California monthly rent (I know some of you may question paying someone else's mortgage) but at that time, I preferred the renting lifestyle which placed me much closer to work, my family, my clients, and friends.

The lifestyle, weather, etc are perfect for me and I'm so grateful to be living here!

Quote from @Jose Jauregui: Hi I was approached by a gentleman telling me about Lifestyle Unlimited...

What are your real estate and lifestyle goals over the next 5, 10, and 20 years?

Are you seeing any emerging trends or opportunities tied to these lifestyle improvements, such as increased demand for certain property types or neighborhoods?

Retail strip and lifestyle centers are doing well. 

After all PITI, utility, and services (lawncare and cleaning) costs I have $7,225.I set aside 25% of this for my maintenance fund.The remainder funds my lifestyle, wife has a Tesla, and quarterly vacations as well as business growth.In 2023 I am tracking to build 4 duplex units designed as room rentals funded in part from a recent land sale.
