At age 36, I started reading the books by Robert Kiyosaki, particularly 'Rich Dad, Poor Dad,' which didn't fully resonate with me until I turned 45.

The change we need in each community will only happen at the local level by locals working closely with the cities to design and develop sustainable solutions to systemic problems like workforce/affordable housing, new work / biz culture, new experience based retail/commercial areas, etc. 

A lender wants to make sure that the investment can sustain itself.

I also believe that it is incumbent on you as the business owner to ensure your success and if you need to use outbound marketing initially to generate enough leads to sustain and grow your business, then you have a moral obligation to your family to do so.

Its that if my calculations are correct, you are saying the units you checked, for preCOVID conditions, couldn't sustain a 50% rental. 

While I think it does have “legs” and sustainability, I don’t think it will become the way the vast majority of people choose to live.Sometimes, we see a trend that appears to be the new thing, but once economic conditions change the trend reverses.

I've already retired from my first job, now I'm into living my life while trying to find a sustainable passive income without having to do the old 9-5 again, if that makes any sense.

We had a close call with a hurricane last month and none of my clients' or my properties sustained any damage (frantically knocking on wood right now).

Is this sustainable?

@Pedro Martins  Of course you would get that impression you probably think I was handed everything I have ever gotten and never had a rough knock in my life  :)Social welfare long term simply is not sustainable.. out here in our area the west coast we have issues with Illegal Mexicans using our emergency rooms as their every day doctor.. they know they cant be refused. and they know they don't have to pay so they just sit in the emergency room until its their turn.
