They rather see their house buirn to the ground than sell toy at market value let alone at a discount.The reason you are struggling is because everyone, is regurgitating complete nonsense all these gurus are yapping about.Dump these gurus.

There are bikes, kids' toys, and even cars flipped over in driveways.

Took one booking, the tenants broke contract by bringing a pet (dog hair and a bone were left behind), and Landing was not exactly pleasant to deal with in recouping security for extra cleaning and damages (dog used the ceiling fan remote as a chew toy). 

I'm sixty years old and was toying with the idea of investing some of my retirement money in a home on Cape Cod.    

Rates are on the way down, meaning Spring will likely bring a new wave of demand to the market and folks will look to refinance their home, taking cash out to pay for life needs, and also likely to splurge on new toys.

Their only other bills are their mobile phone and car insurance, and with the rest of the money they save on rent, they can spend it on other priorities, whether it’s expensive toys, travel or paying down debt.

The more stuff (toys, decor, shoes, software apps, employees, etc), the less joy I experience.

Or, dog bowls, dog treats, toys, doggie bags for mess clean up in yard, etc. 

Our private covered dock and lake toys are a bug draw for us in the summer months.Multiple people have said they love the pool table.In our bigger cabin people like the large game room, movie room, custom covered firepit and hot tub.

my husband and I built out a off road toy hauler as our home!
