After maybe 8 hrs of work with a helper, we had the new mast, two ground rods and wiring hooked up. 

We moved here to St Augustine two years ago and would love to know of any investor meet up's in the area that I can go to.

What I do know is there are plenty of other markets in the Midwest (I have 9 doors across Memphis and Detroit) that will cash flow immediately and based on the data I'm seeing, has appreciated more than areas like LA/Seattle/Bay Area in the last 5 years.You also bring up airbnb which is a viable option to cash flow. 

Going to look further into those two softwares! 

The gal next door to him was running a power cord from my place into their place so they would have power.

There's two ways to do this: 1.

There are a TON of tiny/small towns in MN where $70k will buy you a house outright that will definitely cash flow.

Cold call, Door knock, contact people you know, make videos about the area and then message your followers

It'll tell you the real market when you see the two-way.

None of this is true in todays market though, you pay more per month to buy than rent anywhere in our area & frankly the country at this point, so it takes time for both having bought to be worth it and to move out and make cash flow, there are very few if any properties that are “value add anymore” I’d know because I look At 17 counties daily for deals & if there’s one I’d have bought one, heloc’s are bad debt ar this point, usually double digit debt, again all of these issues are solved with those but if your gonna live somewhere for a year or two he would probably rent and no amount of realtor ******** changes that, this market is different than a low interest rate environment and people owe thier clients at least to properly explain that to them.
