    Who else is running an AirBnb property?

    My revenue for 24 is on pace with 23 in Alaska and up significantly for peak season on Lake Superior. Alaska I think I’ll end up with about 10 open nights from mid May to early September between my 2 houses. My Lake Superior house will end up with 2 open nights for peak season and we’re heading...

    Ever have to carry your dog off a trail?

    Once, but luckily not far. My golden is in pretty pristine shape, 65 pounds of muscle and we run 30 miles a week pretty much year-round other than upland season. Last season he came up lame and I thought for sure he tore his ACL and we were a couple hundred yards from the truck. Got home and...

    Getting equity out of rental property

    If you’re only planning on having the loan for less than 2 years I wouldn’t worry at all about doing the HELOC then. Even better is when you pay it back down to zero you’ll have access to that cash again should a deal pop up where you would want to close quick. Even if local lenders balk at...

    Getting equity out of rental property

    You haven’t called enough banks. I used to do this quite often when I was getting started to continue to grow. I own around 90 rental units in the Midwest, I don’t have any 2nd position loans any longer other than lines of credit that I essentially use as cash when purchasing and immediately...

    What do you do for a living? How can you help?

    Physical Therapist; but will likely be leaving healthcare this fall to do project management full-time in asbestos abatement (I'm good at keeping everything on track with renovations and subcontractors, not swinging a hammer). Real Estate is my thing, I'm not an agent so don't ask me anything...

    Unknow condition with my dog

    Humans get it all the time only in one side of their face; may be different in dogs I suppose. If she’s happy and not caring I probably wouldn’t worry too much about it either.

    Unknow condition with my dog

    I have no idea but is there a dog version of Bell’s palsy? Or palsy of some sort that’s paralyzed some of those muscles causing them to atrophy?

    Braggin Board for Fishing!

    We had another great week in Seward and Homer. Stayed at our airbnb, looking forward to spending 3 weeks up there next year. Seems we were in between sockeye runs in Seward as that was pretty slow, but the day we got out with my buddy halibut fishing was great, came home with 4 fish boxes which...

    Sitka AK fishing advice

    My buddy that's a captain in Homer cut his teeth in Sitka at the Wild Strawberry. If you want to go catch giant King's, that's the spot to do it (or it was a few years ago). They've taken a nose-dive in a lot of areas (because of some of the BS bottom trawler by-catch but that's a whole other...

    Mortgages

    I agree with this. My personal opinion is put less down, and keep the extra savings for a rainy day or different investments. It's not worth having 500$'s in a bank account and being one bad car fix away from being out of money. I'd rather pay the PMI at an additional 80-100 bucks/month and...

    What do yall do for side income?

    Real estate- I own quite a few rental units across Wisconsin, also have a short-term rental on Lake Superior and a couple in AK. I've toned down to part-time at my normal W2 gig as a PT, will likely go full real-state in the next 3-4 years. Probably could financially now, but I'd be bored.

    Investments outside of retirement

    This is the way, it's a great asset class that brings plenty of enjoyment. But my vote is all spare cash goes into a high yield savings account for your first investment property down payment. I own around 90 units and most of my spare cash goes into buying more. I did some risky shit a few...

    Driving thru CO with a Head

    This really is true, we weren't "stopped", but instead ran into a CO in the backcountry (he was hunting as well). Got to BS-ing and told him we had shot a bull, he asked what he did with the head and brain tissue (I think he was politely telling us make sure we get everything out before we get...

    Favorite National Park

    Lived in Maine for a PT contract for a summer and we lived right next to Acadia. I’ve been to a dozen or so parks, but Acadia has topped the list so far, it’s busy but easy to get away. Also really liked Ranier and Olympia. A lot of people don’t realize the Schoodic Peninsula is part of the...

    Bitcoin

    If I can't access the safety deposit box that's unhelpful. I feel good about having one in my house hidden and another at a trusted friend's house hidden. I'm confident I could give someone unrestricted access to my house for a week and they wouldn't find it, same with the 2nd.

    Bitcoin

    Pretty easy- buy a Ledger (directly from their website so you know it's not a cheap Chinese knockoff). Buy on Coinbase or wherever, and you transfer it to the Ledger wallet. The key with an offline wallet is the seed phrase. I have one copy hidden in my house and another at someone else's...

    Bitcoin

    I've been buying for several years, took a 100k haircut with Celsius going tits up, should've known it was too good to be true. I just DCA every month a couple K, I try and not pay attention to the wild swings, just keep buying regardless of the price. Did have some other shitcoins too, but...

    A more nomadic life?

    I did travel PT and my wife was a RN, we did it for about a year, it was a blast. We used furnished finder or actually had some decent luck either calling local realtors or the hospital's that I was working at. Lived in some cool places in Florida, Maine, Washington. It was an awesome way to...

    Rooster came out pretty well!

    He’s up and looks great! I’m planning on getting a pic of the pup made on canvas to put under the tailgate with a limit of roosters as well. Adding another to the other side will be a nice touch at some point too.
