What I really don't understand is that by doing this they are further depressing an already sinking local economy that thrives on tourism!

Real estate is a foundation laid upon the gravel for businesses, homes and people to thrive on.

The combination of the two is catastrophic decline in your property value.Your Mitigation Plan is to only buy in areas where rents are growing, new jobs are coming to town and there's a thriving well-diversified economy.

So think of that out of 1,000 getting licensed maybe 40 in 5 years are thriving and doing well.

Why would I choose a market I have a connection to though when those markets may be negative cash flow compared to markets that are thriving? 

And frankly, I think that most of our users are reasonably well-capitalized, have long-term debt locked in, have adequate reserves, did invest for cash flow, and will be able to weather the storm and thrive.

I have been investing with leverage (ie getting kind) since 1992 and still thriving in real estate.

I had today a lengthy and interesting conversation with Thrive real state.
