"Blue Oval City", Ford's new electric vehicle plant, is coming to Stanton, TN in 2025.

She told me to move my vehicle to a different spot and I said no.

Insurance is a couple hundred a year, we own our vehicles.

Those who want to walk only will want to be close to the beach while those who use a vehicle or don't travel that much might not.I guess your other question/suggestion is that a villa is better than a condo.

Investment vehicles will shift with the tide so people will lose interest in RE only when other vehicles are returning more and vice versa but will probably always be high.

I personally stay away from CONDOS as an investment vehicle.

If I buy that and use that as my main vehicle, would the 2008 Mazda suffice as a rental?

The vehicles sit out in the weather. 

They’re still an excellent vehicle if you can find distressed deals!
