I have a ford transit that started out as a passenger van. Medium roof. The build out is framed with 8020 extrusions. Fully self contained. Fridge/kitchen, AC, 400ah of lithium with solar. Also has a Webasto gasoline heater queen bed with side flares. You wouldn't need all of that. I suggest a transit or Promaster passenger van. Pull out the seats and throw in some cots and a portable compressor fridge. You can always add as you go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem with the current situation is massive rate hikes coming. Who’s going to be able to afford all these million dollar homes when the interest rate on a 30 year is 7% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a buddy who's been flipping some high end condos down at Admirals Cover in Jupiter. All the rich people who bought the condos originally 30 years ago, are ready for assisted living, so there's a bunch of stuff coming on the market that need some updating, so they can be flipped for 2-300k profit. But the prices have been going up so fast even for the flips, that it just doesn't make sense any more.

I told my old man if things work out and we are sitting on 3-400k for a down payment when shit hits the fan in a few years we’ll just eat the fucking retarded interest rates and buy the million dollar shack. Choke on the payment for a year or two until the idiotic cycle repeats and refinance the remaining nut at 1.9% when the bank slashes rates and supercharges the stagnant economy again. Theres got to be a way for bottom feeders like me to get ahead in this bullshit boom and bust cycle that typically only serves the rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And right now prices are really high. I think of the first place my folks bought in Florida more than 30 years ago, in Palm Beach Gardens. With some updating, a million or more in this market.

My company offers a couple travel awards a year. But because of Covid, they're only doing domestic trips for now. I qualified late, and all they have left is Marco Island Florida........in July. Yeahno. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
