Bitcoin - If you are holding for more than 5 years who cares what it does right now? People don't understand the economics of bitcoin.

Real Estate - I am moving back into real estate. However, I am not buying normal single family homes as the ROI is not there anymore. I am buying and or developing for short term rental platforms (airbnb). The ROI on a well researched property is astronomical.

I don't have the contract yet, but my latest deal is an abandoned retail building close to a downtown area.

I am buying it for $80,000 and will invest $40,000 into making it short term airbnb property.

It will rent for $150 a night and I am expecting 50%- 70% occupancy.


Monthly payment with taxes and insurance - $750
Power Bill - $125
Water - $50
Internet - $75
Yard - $50 (basically just weed eating, no yard)
Airbnb items (coffee, etc) - $100

$2,250 Rev

$1,150 expenses


After Airbnb fees I think it will cashflow about $600 - $1,000 a month.

Equity will have increased about $40,000 when done with renovations.


This is the only real estate model I have found that works for me during this time of the real estate boom.

If this comes to fruition like I think it will, I am going to scale this into various locations where the numbers work.


Bottom line, get the frick out of cash.

I like the site "airdna" to run the numbers on these things.

I bought some of the previous darling weed stocks the other day way off their highs.

Before someone tells me the earnings are horrific, the market is a casino and I don't care. Its less risky than alt coins right now.

You are missing cleaning costs which will be significant or very time consuming and should account at least 100/mo for random repair costs.

You need to aim for higher occupancy or charge a higher rate or you are going to see a very poor ROI on this property as you have set it out. Not trying to be a debbie downer but those are a couple of big costs you haven't accounted for.
