I like purely vacation areas only.

Active vs passive investingAnyone that owns property can tell you it’s not purely passive.

I did well in San Mateo and Los Gatos-purely appreciation.

Rent Hacking was how we saved up our security blanked for our first rental and than later our donwpyment for our first pure rental.I highly recommend you also check out- the blogs, forums and listen to the podcasts.

Kyle this is pure gold, thanks.

It was purely a financial decision.....And I like your attitude about our planet...if everyone would just take personal responsibility for their own footprint.....
