It’s better to buy existing Self-storage or mobile home parks. There are around 40-44k parks and cities rarely allow new parks which means limited inventory and mostly owned by mom and pops.

Build in unincorporated areas around lakes.

Storage for boats and campers or motor homes is great. One time cost to build, no plumbing only electric! Great use for metal buildings. Plus the occupancy rate is very high! Big plus is that hardly ever does someone not pay, like when they store furniture or boxes of junk!

Interesting! Have you done this before? How much land in acres and construction cost is it for a typical build?

Trailer parks don’t seem like it would be very stable tbh

You are essentially a slumlord that deals with kicking families out of there house - and in many cases forcing young families into the streets. Only do it if you think you can handle doing this. Me personally i would be too soft to kick those folks out of houses when push comes to shove

Highly Technical Market Sell-Off - Though, it has picked up over lunch and I suspect that short term turn is in near. Old floortrader told me once, never trust a market that is making new session highs or lows during lunch. That's not normal. This might not be a normal day; but we do need to rebound to get another opportunity into the short trend. So, count on it. The last draw is more suspect as it hasn't been proven to exist yet. So, we will see how we look when we trade 9855.75 on NQ.

Currently maxed Roth 401k, Roth IRA, HSA, and ESPP at 23 YO, should I consider an after-tax conversion? I’ve read about back-door Roths but I’m still far below the income limit as an analyst. Definitely looking into early-ish retirement, should I just invest the rest in a regular brokerage account until I reach the income limit? Am I even allowed to do a conversion? Any advice is helpful :)

After listening to the Mike Saylor podcast with Lex Friedman, it made me reconsider my notions I had about BTC layer 2. IMO ETH has thoroughly eaten BTC’s lunch from a development/dapp perspective. I’m 50/50 allocated in both because as Mike says BTC is durable digital property while I see ETH as the platform for application functionality. Would be interested to hear other’s takes. At the core of it, I’m not sure myself and others will ever want to spend BTC, even if fees were negligible.

Good evening all,
With my partner we are considering making a move to the countryside of Switzerland, with a gorgeous RE project offering incredible views on immaculate mountains and lake. However, it is far away, and will require 1h+ train/car commute vs. 10 min biking right now. We are scared it will bite us back at some point, although COVID helped w/ remote working being a new norm. The project will be done 2024, so I hope to have a more relax job by then. Any similar experience to share?
