I also like Mobile, I just looked up some preliminary data (linked below) but going to dive deep to see what is driving the economic growth in Mobile.https://www.huduser.gov/portal/periodicals/USHMC/r...V/R - Troy

When you are ready to retire for sure, then cash out for cash flow properties.Personally I'm starting to lean toward renting out RV storage.

I'm worried the people from Florida might decide to use it one day as a place to park their RV, or go camping or something weird...You guys are great, Let me know what you think, much appreciated!

Costco memberships, buy a bidet once instead of toilet lapsed every month, save up enough to increase your insurance deductibles & lower your monthly premiums, I bought a kegerator used for $300, I now pay $1/beer at home instead of $10/6 pack or $10/ beer drinking out.

I wouldn't want to have all my money packed into SPY, no more than I would want it all packed into one SFH over on the other side of Houston (or worse, somewhere in CA or FL or NJ).Great stuff in this thread. 

Whereas if we lived in a low rent apartment complex there would likely be a pack of kids running around.

Your best education is not buying a pack of CD's from some famous person that sounds cool, it is buying a trashed house and making it look great.

This is filling the STR properties with tenants, helping my investors see strong annual net cash flow.Here’s the current (As of the August 2021 report) lodging landscape in the greater Sedona area -- • Hotel Rooms: 2,789 • Timeshares: 1,504 • STR | Single Family Home + Condo/ Townhouse: 992 equaling 2,877 bedrooms (2.9 bedrooms avg per house) • STR | Home Sharing Apt + Guest House + RV + Private Room: 347Overall, STRs outperformed the past few months compared to the previous two years.  

What you would spend on a few STRs you could easily buy an apartment building, Mobile Home or RV park leveraging commercial debt.

Can Short Term RV Pads be rented through Airbnb or VRBO if there are requirements on age (55+) and age of the RV (10 years or less)?
