White middle class areas and vacation rentals is where to make money. Unless you can do it at scale and own hundred of units you can't run the risk of 6 niggers smashing margin because the local economy takes a nosedive/ a natural disaster happens. It's mostly look. At some point you look up and your initial capital investment was small and you've had a steady income and your ability to monetize your equity is pretty cheap and your like wow, lucky shit. The thing is real estate is a good store of value if you can carry the cost.if you can't it's an albatross. If you're in low tax jurisdiction, resort, with a tourist season that can carry your cost on 25% of the year and your equity gains over time grow why not stay parked, especially if you're handy. I can do electric, plumbing, carpentry, I don't rent monthly like I did when I worked full time, most of my rentals are weekly through agencies or word of mouth I use airbnb for some off season and into fill in others. In NJ weekly vacation rentals at the shore have been happening for like a 100 years, here in Michigan the same thing the season is like May to September Memorial to Labor with rentals from April to Thanksgiving possible and real peak late June-to August. Stay away from kids, niggers, and trash and you do good,
