Thank you everyone for all the helpful insights. DrRoy those pictures are incredibly beautiful. Did you take them?

Climate-wise... which is better in September... Bryce Canyon or Zion National Park? 31 year old and 60 year old headed on the wandering adventure this 2018...

walkinwood, REWahoo, MRG, thank you!

I'm also interested in lodging recommendations. Secluded, quiet, solitude and silence are the top of my list. Comfortable setting but not luxurious.

1st and 2nd weeks of April... where would you meander in Colorado? I'm interested in nature, beauty, and potentially hiking if I can avoid muddy trails... I've heard it's "mud-season" in April, so I'm aware I'm taking a risk in going... but I'm hoping there is a Colorado-Savvy expert in here...

Thank you very much I removed the specific examples (they were well-imagined examples though) just for brevity. In short, most of the catastrophic issues are simple to mitigate (to a degree) if you cover yourself well with insurance. But this doesn't take away from your point in the...

This is really helpful feedback! I think there is something here... there's a resistance, an unwillingness to compromise, etc. I have some people give me feedback that this is a strength of mine, and is part of what makes me entrepreneurial, but sometimes I'm blatantly staring at that "Flip...

That is wild! I am sorry I am just now seeing this post. I can't believe how different the pricing is these days haha

Thanks-- Wife is getting healthier all the time. She started an internship at a company doing something she's always been interested in, which is really exciting for her (and me). Baby is lovely and a ton of fun. Healthy too, such a joy

Gotcha-- ha, I'm the new guy, and I forget what crowd I'm in on this forum! Highly leveraged here is like... you have a mortgage

nun and NgineER Nice to hear both of your thoughts. I like the idea of snowballing down the mortgages, NgineER. I'm curious why you want to make your acquisition stage highly leveraged? The cash flow has depended on a number of factors, for me, but the biggest one has been financing...

Yes, I have. There are some Financial Planners running, "Lifestyle Practices," that appeal to me. I spent a good bit of time networking and researching this idea last fall. Ultimately, the sales side of planning became an intimidating aspect of the job, for me... but I have and still do...

This does make things simple. So this perspective would apply to SS, correct? Since it is COLA?

I'm not familiar with caps during the operational phase of a rental (e.g. I guess I could get them appraised to determine NOI on Appraised Value?). I'm only familiar with Going-In Caps on acquisition/development, and Terminal Cap rates in my pro forma's/IRR projections. Would you mind...
