Tiny houses are a hot property right now along with retro RV rentals and Camper Vans trips.  

@Javier Rancier my partner, @Zach Shepard and I are making a trip to Puerto Rico from 8/13 - 8/19.

I'm not far from the Maldives right now though, so I may take a trip in the fall for research purposes.  

It sounds like finding a lender will be tough in this situation and making that happen this morning practically impossible.

A term I think about as the adjustment period, where you get the immediate property and people problems basically solved (no chaos or daily trips or worries...), the kinks worked out and rents coming in steadily.

I decided to take a look in DFW area, mainly focus in cities around Arlington for my 4 days trip last week.

Please excuse my ignorance in this post, but I listen to podcast after podcast on my drive to work.This morning I was listening to Bigger Pockets Podcast 210, about a younger couple starting out, purchased their first property a 4 plex and are house hacking.The purchased it for like 400K, but down 45K and were cash flowing like 1K a month.This is my question:  The guy on there said they then refinanced the mortgage 10 months after they bought the property and took out 50K, basically getting everything back that they put in it.  

Although, I think there is nothing inherently wrong in non-appreciating, well selected, high cashflowing properties.I woke up this morning and thought to myself....I wonder if our Sacramento market and surrounding cities is going to look something like San Francisco and it's surrounding markets in 5-10 years.

Good morning BP!

And as I lay in bed this morning, all I could think about was all the ways this weather could affect the six vacant houses we have sitting unprotected.By unprotected I mean no one is living in them and taking care of them.Wouldn’t you agree that protecting the house is one of the main jobs of a tenant?
