It's so great to see the fruits of what this site is all about. 

Hopefully my dive into real estate will be fruitful.

I could also try planting various tropical fruit trees there where it would not work here in the Bay Area.

Each state has their own requirements so be careful with anything you hear here.My take is that a buyer and seller come to the table and there is a basket on the table.

I believe in the future success of the business, but I understand now how important multiple streams of income are and not putting all of our eggs in one basket.

Hi JP,I am have been invested in STR's in Scottsdale for 4 years running now and it has been quite fruitful though the population of STR's has exploded.  

In marketing one says,  ":Don;t put all your eggs in one basket"... use several marketing venues right?

Yes I am very conscious with keeping cash flow in mind and don’t want to put all my eggs into the appreciation basket.

@Karen Devlin I am in agreement with others here who say to not put all of your eggs ($370K from 1031 proceeds) into one basket (ONE self storage facility).It would be far more prudent to spreading the $370K over smaller (5-12 unit) apartments.

But nice to know we're "buttercups"  He is talking to you buttercup.Most of us DO NOT have all our eggs in the STR basket contrary to your belief.
