And some are retired and and just looking for reasonable risk and cash flow to enjoy life without too much hassle.

Ive absolutely enjoyed this way of saving, and I hope that you find this helpful and that you discover the way that helps you to be excited to save more.

In the last few years I've averaged 3 offers a year, bought them all with cash and closed as promised.All were carefully chosen for the rehab to rent strategy that I'm doing.I absolutely refuse  to waste my, or anyone else valuable time chasing all over creation looking for a short term gain.I'm old, slow and methodical in my pursuit and fully expect to enjoy the fruits of this attitude for a long time.

Just enjoy it and having multiple streams of income will help you even if they are in the same industry, like rental units in different parts of the country.  

Enjoy!   

I really enjoy bigger pockets as it gives me an opportunity to learn more, Speak the language and see what REI has to offer.

Lots of military in the area, so a higher-than-average density of folks who wanted to enjoy the American dream, bought a house, and then received orders requiring them to relocate.

Good luck and enjoy!

I always enjoy a new puzzle to think about. 

I know you said it would be vacation rental but sounds like it might also be alot for you're enjoyment as well :p best of luck.
