He abandoned it during his demon years so his best friend took it over and added a couple more people before it desolved due to all going off to college.In college he had a side hustle of finding things on free sites, putting them up for sale, selling the free item and offering to transport it for a modest fee.  

So if lots of parking, ideally walking distance to busses or transportation to cut down on cars, you might get away with it (legally).Operationally;  this is a can of worms to manage. 

It's not the same - you have to deal with transportation, storage, through put cost, counterparty risk, the need to find an end buyer in the right location with the demand at the right time, collections and billing on giant sums of money, etc. 

I live abroad, but I will be in Portugal in December and I'm planning to visit Entroncamento and talk with local real estate brokers and other locals to better understand the rental market there, to have more information for my analysis.I'm looking to locations close to Lisbon and with good infrastructure (transports, social, manufacturing, etc) with prices under 60k, because I think in 5 to 10 years, they can have  appreciation between 20% to 40% in some cases.Thats my experience with investing in Barreiro, In less than a year I have aprecciation around 20%-25% in 2 apartments that I bought under market value in the beginning of 2020 and rents are around the 1% of acquisition value.I also plan to talk with some banks to understand better what refinancing solutions are available in the market.Regards,Mauro

Find local specialist in your area is huge.2. close to public transportation.

My own observation leads me to believe that a large part of the buyer agent’s time budget gets spent on showing houses and transportation to and from those houses.

However cash is a hard no for me because I feel having it around and transporting it provides a security risk for me.

I am confident that “Drill Baby Drill” (aka reducing the price of oil, aka reducing everything that is transported) will directly impact the cost of goods thus increasing tenants and buyers purchasing power.

Other large employers are health, education, as well as transportation and warehousing. 

We can transmit electricity reasonably efficiently, and then we can transport actual material (ie: water or natural gas) reasonably efficiently.
