To buy a property and have it actually be habitable you will spend considerably more than $500.

I travel around the world and live abroad for a portion of the year, so vacation or investment property outside the US interest me.

People still travel to the beach in the winter, they can just be really really picky about where they stay because there are so many listings available.

@John Cassel @Dontelle Wilkens I’m in Charlotte as well, I’ll be traveling next week for work but would be great to stay in touch/meet up at some point (as well as others in Charlotte...I’m on my phone and can’t remember enough people to tag them).

Hello Biggerpockets,Some background on me:  I own a design + build firm here in l.a. and have done plenty of flips and currently own 14 doors (2- 4units, 1- 3 unit, 1 duplex, 1 sfd) My agent recently brought me a property 24,700 s.f. lot with rd1.5 zoning (1 habitable dwelling every 1500 s.f. of lot) ...meaning I can build up to 16 units on itIt currently has 4 single family type homes on it generating $6400 monthly (3 - 2 bed 1 bath & 1 3 bed 2 bath) The owner is asking for way too much (1.9m) and basically trying to find someone to partner with. 

This area draws a lot of foreigners too and the large bedroom count can accommodate multiple families traveling together for vacation.A friend of mine who is an agent in the area has a few clients buying in Davenport for the short-term rental options.  

Is the distance of travel decreasing by 10 minutes?

This is a story about how my husband and I stacked the concepts we learned from financial podcasts- live in flipped, travel hacked, BRRR, buy and hold rental real estateI was inspired to write this after hearing the BiggerPockets Money podcast #69.

I can’t wait for the time that we could travel to Peru and Texas back and forth with no money or time restrictions.

I do plan to keep record of all travel costs to potentially write off come tax season.
