Hi everyone,This issue has been weighing heavily on my mind lately. 

There are a lot of experienced people who contribute heavily here but the overwhelming majority are new people, and that's who the site is geared towards helping.

@Jeremy Morton I am currently heavily real estate but over time I will diversify back to likely more 50/50 real estate and the rest broad stock market investments that I will let ride for 30 years.If I were you I would do something like that but also invest in the market.

As far as tips go I'll just share a few online resources I love and use heavily that add to my sanity.

On the other hand, though, I think you'd have to be equally nuts to think a ban on STRs in areas like mission beach is at all likely.The fact that the CA Coastal Commision went on record to say that they in no way support blanket bans on STRs will heavily influence the situation here.

CFPB heavily favors large institutions at the expense of small and local institutions.

In the end, this will be good publicity for ABnB.It will:- answer questions for many would be host- settle concerns for some current hosts- provide direction to be a successful host- provide some much needed publicity while Home Away is heavily advertising.

The electronics manufacturers are working heavily to keep it down so it doesn't increase their production costs but still....you never buy something at the peak of it's value and gold is at the peak of it's value, imho.

Tom GoansI couldn't agree more...BUTto get here I used a lot of leverage & in those days debt was @ 18%.There is nothing more satisfying than to be heavily invested & yet be completely debt free @ an early age.

It seems that the variability in profit for spec builds is heavily dependent on the market, whereas the variability in profit from fixers is heavy on renovation costs.
