I'm a hospitalist(look it up.I promise it's an actual job).When I finished training,I knew I'd end up bored to death by waking up everyday working in the same small office.I loved traveling and mixing it up way too much to be tied down to routine.So I quickly became a locum and now work all across Georgia and Florida when I want.That does two things:I make my own schedule,choose my own hours and can view properties while I'm on assignment.It's semi retirement because I block out an entire month if I feel like it.I was in south east Asia all of December and will be in Russia most of June.I don't have 1000 doors.Far from it.I'm like you.Just a dozen or so doors.For now.But BiggerPockets is the reason I'm able to live this way.I wasn't born that way.Nice reading everyone's stories

I would consider a van, but they don't make 4 wheel drive vans (Quigly conversions are as close as you can get) and I like to drive on the beach sand at Lake Mac in Nebraska on occasion.If you're handy, you can pick up a late 60's early 70's pickup for between $1,500 and $3,000 and work on it over time.  

There are still deals are there to be had, just takes dedication.Let me know if you ever need anything, I'm more than happy to help.Check out my "south east michigan housing report" for some statistical analysis provided by real comp

I am located in a great city in the Southeast.

20 units with rental income of $200 each, and a down payment on my island in South East Asia.

The southeast coast line.  

No one wants to vacation in New Jersey, Ohio, Indiana or Nebraska in November.

Hi All, I have been diving into the idea of section 8 investing in the south east and mid west states.

The south east where I live is pretty landlord friendly.

@Kaitlyn Nesbitt positive in-migration from the largest renter profiles (millennials and baby boomers), positive population growth at the City, submarket, and tract level, minimal crime, above average job growth, greater than 35k median income at the city, submarket, and tract level.Would love to chat about where I find this info, we're constantly evaluating cities, submarkets, and neighborhoods around the southeast to make investments.
