I'll concede that liquidity (although some hedge fund managers put the breaks on cashing out last week) might be more fluid at the moment, but Wall Street only delivers two areas for profit:- Value appreciation (by way of speculating)- Dividend payouts (which is so trivial it barely registers)Liquidity isn't profit.

I haven't had any major complaints this year about heat (I pay for it in my big pink apartment) but I'd really like to switch over to BBE).Mike is right, after doing research BBE is by far the BEST for rentals as long as the electric service can support it.I took Mike's advice and bought some big DIY books, and running new wire for the units doesn't seem to be hard at all (It seemed much harder to me to begin with).

The oddest thing was that I agreed the kitchen panty could use some new paint, although you could barely see the walls since it was so small, 20" door IIRC.I cut some new shelves and put a couple of coats of oil-based paint on so I could do the entire job in one trip.

They may drive a Mercades, but have barely any savings and little to no wealth to speak of. 

I have thought about Florida because it has good tourism and weather, I have even read about people having success in cities like Kansas City, MO which to be honest I barely knew existed until reading about it on this forum.The reason I am attracted to vacation rentals is because I have done it here in Spain so I know how it works and believe in it.
