The Whaler is nice, but I really like the Kaanapali Alii, the units are larger, the ocean view units have better views, and the grounds are superior.

I bought a lot of blue sky with it and we sold the business for less than we bought it.

Lots of seniors, blue collar folks and some college kids.$4500 in DIY renovations estimated: drywall repairs for small mold & water spots; painting interior; ripping up carpet & installing hardwood laminate; ripping up vinyl & installing tile; replacing oven/stove, refrigerator, & dishwasher.

We can argue until we're blue in the face about the proper way to evaluate a portfolio of SFRs, but at the end of the day, I'm going to sell to the publicly traded company with the most cash, the highest vacancy, and the least regard for market value, because they'll pay me the most.

If you live your life depriving yourself of the things (toys) that bring joy or fun to your life and concentrate on simply accumulating wealth, you may reach a point where you're near the end, have a RE empire and never really stopped to enjoy yourself along the way.I spent many years busting my hump trying to make as much money as I could and guess what...it was NEVER enough.Throw the motorcycles and 4 wheelers in the toy hauler, hook the ski boat to the F250, and captain that Carver down the ICW until the water turns blue!

Blue sky profroma's are the rule not the exception, it is up to the investor to determine running costs over time.. and with very little effort an investor can do that.If an investor believes they will have no maintenance and no vacancies when buying a rental property , then probably Real Estate is not a good choice for them.. they should invest in a Riet or some sort of dividend stock...  

I expect one of the first things Biden will do is encourage much longer-term, much more vague moratoriums on evictions "for the duration of the pandemic" to be put in place.Especially in the blue states, expect measures designed as preferential treatment for poor black folks as a quid pro quo for what Biden obviously understands and mentioned was their role in winning him this election.

It literally goes from desert to rainforest to ocean from one end to the other, as you pass over snow capped volcanoes and green mossy hot springs.

I didn't get that one at first, but now I find opportunities arise out of blue the more I help others without expecting anything back.Another is to market yourself as an expert.

There are many blue collar towns and cities across the Midwest, but I have experience in Ohio, that then became my focus.
