I have a healthy income and have built a solid financial base for my age.

I understand most would say I should double-down with my spouse on our business full time but 1) our industry is heavily regulated in a way that can really affect revenue so it's a priority for both of us to have another avenue of income-- if not cash flow now, then appreciation/equity. 2) my spouse and i work very differently so while we have made it work the last couple of years, it isn't conducive long term to a healthy marriage. 

@Gabriel Oquendo The STR market is still quite healthy here in Myrtle Beach and the other nearby beaches comprising the Grand Strand. 

I have experienced, first hand, so many healthy people drop out of the blue, as young as 40s, but often in their 50s and 60s.

Sometimes its like a sweater from Aunt Matilda and you just smile and figure out what you have to do, and other times its like a new bike! 

we eventually refied after only 9 months with a significant noi increase through fannie becoming cash on cash plus a sizeable non taxable event along with 5 years i/o at a very low rate which allows for a healthy cash flow

When there are no events, the venue has been booked for short-term rentals.Business has no debt, and is turn-key (advertising is creating a healthy pipeline, there are existing employees, and will come with all the inventory and FFE&V). 

I've been able to get a healthy combination of both cashflow and appreciation from all my properties after a little TLC.Happy to share my experiences.

My vision is broader: I'm investing in high-quality renovations to offer more comfortable, healthy, and affordable living spaces.

Some investors will continue to earn a healthy return on their investments while other will not be able to survive.
