In the SE Atlanta area.

I use a great CPA in SE Tyler.

I enjoy designing things on the computer, but I don't really want to do graphic design, per se.

You don't want to breathe ozone at high concentration as it'll irritate your throat and nose, but it isn't "poisonous" per se.

I bought mine in 2001 and my cash flow number is great. so there is not an average or above average cash flow per se. in core areas such as Bellevue, Queen Anne, capitol hill you get highest rent but you also pay a lot more for the property so your cash flow is negative unless you pay a lot for down payment.

I too want to retire between 40-45 and I've realized that I'll need two 'retirement incomes' One, which is not in a 'retirement account' per se, to provide for my family from 40-59 1/2 and the other, more traditional, that can carry us until our end of days. 

Unrelated to investing per se but relative to fundamentally addressing the real world practices of effecient infrastructure in residential buildings as a whole is the extreme and profound unwillingness of individual property owners to actually embrace and implement equipment & methodologies to mitigate the "purported" climate crisis.From my myopic perspective having to fight with residential customers who have zero knowledge of thermo dynamic, ohm's law and efficiency measures is highly hypocritical.People claim to care but are closed minded to energy saving and efficient operating homes.End rant

I don't believe the goal should be housing per se, it should be more like self sufficiency while respecting other peoples rights.

I don't look at states per se, I look at markets.  

So far the two markets where I own (SE FL and Philadelphia) are still going gangbusters.
