I still have to pay my bills in dollars, so I don't see how it is any better than buying a house in the meta verse that I can't actually live in but just pretend to live in.I prefer to focus on cash flow with real assets like property and fundamentally sound stocks with healthy dividends than gamble on someone in the future paying me more for a piece of computer code.

This can work if you understand the lifestyle/mindset of the people you'd rent to, but it'll end in disaster if you don't.

You will won’t both of those at very minimum to maximize your exposure.Yes I always look at gross rent not including cleaning.10% down I think is a bit risky on a lifestyle asset as you sound like you want it to be for you and your family.

I think for pretty much everyone around here, ranching is about lifestyle.
