(I've been powerlifting for 3 years, 202 all muscle.

Is the property under a high tension power line or down wind from the horse rendering factory or on a main thoroughfare or some other obstruction that you wouldn't want to live near?

When the tide does shift, you'll be cruising on Easy Street while the others are still getting in the water, adjusting their goggles, and warming up their muscles.

As someone actively investing in STRs and looking to scale, this raises some concerns for me about the long-term viability of this strategy.I understand the tension between hotels and STRs, especially in popular tourist destinations, but I’m curious:How real is this threat?

Also, clear communication with your parents about goals, risks, and expectations will also help avoid tension.

This is the time I use muscle over legal.

This sped up localized drying causes the log to both Crack at the ends and to build up "Tension" inside the log. 

WHEN (yes I mean WHEN not if because over 30+yrs it happens many times) when the market has a drop for whatever reason be it a bad election, war tensions, someone sneezed on there terminal and HFT's went bazerk selling, whatever the cause, WHEN the market drops you get a "Margin CALL" and next thing ya know there not just selling off those leveraged positions BUT there selling em off in the drop, at the lowest price, amplifying losses, all those returns going out the window in moments.     

How did you balance the tension between short-term returns and long-term goals?

Hard part is keeping on the muscle mass.
