I had a 457 with a fire department in SoCal that I left last year (early retirement, I was 36 when I left).

In my experience, ground leases can last a long time, but it's quite common for the improvements (the hangars themselves, etc) to revert to airport ownership when the lease ends.   

That last part sounds obvious, but I have heard many horror stories - you'd be surprised.Good luck!

Various speakers do information and Q&A session in the beginning and then open networking last hour.

-Lastly, any areas I should avoid that have had flooding issues in the past? 

Hello everyone,I bought my first apartment in Valencia (Spain) last year through an agent, for (student) rental purposes.

Lastly, I would start looking for mentorship (if you truly want to go that route) at your local level, like at your local Real Estate Investor Association (REIA). 

Here we are 4 years after the last comment and I had a very similar experience.

@Michael Baum - agree that its a golden goose... thus the difficulty letting go... however I disagree that its not possible to find another when I've done it in 2 other locations... the last one was a condo I bought in 2021 for 250 and is now worth 650... and rents for 8-10k a month in the winter months... there's always opportunity for more!

She got me spun up on spending $1000's of $'s on home improvements over the last month, a ton of time, she got our realtor spun up who's about to order us a dumpster and get his handy many out here, she got our loan officer and another loan officer spun up getting us pre-approved.
