Financial freedom goes beyond simply replacing your current income—it's about sustaining your lifestyle for life.

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

From google: “The Fair Housing Act (FHA) does not apply to certain types of rentals, including: Owner-occupied buildings: If the building has four or fewer units and is owned by the person who lives there Single-family homes: If the owner rents or sells the home without using a real estate agent, and they own no more than three homes Religious organizations: If the property is only available to members of the organization's religion Private clubs: If the property is only available to members of the club Senior housing: If the property is designated for people who are at least 55 years old Even if a property is exempt from the FHA, it must still comply with the law's ban on discriminatory statements, notices, or advertising.

Retail strip and lifestyle centers are doing well. 

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

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.

Have heard from a neighbor who is still in touch with the landlord that he is talking about buying a sailboat and sailing around the world... not sure if he is serious about this or not but suggests to me a desire to move on from current lifestyle.4.

Honestly think about the lifestyle you want.

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

The best place is what fits with your lifestyle, time, and energy.
