Well, kind of figured a family thing, so totally understand that. It is a big reason, dad moved us to TN, to be closer to his parents in their old age. Sorry to hear about the CA. Good luck with it. Understand about relationships with long term tenants. The only part of that I see personally is the increases in the short term leases we do on vacation.
I would like to leave you with this, though. You are relatively conservative in nature, but I would not want you thinking the whole country is going to hell on donkey back. It varies from place to place and many places in the heartland have not lost control locally and are doing fine, for the most part, even with inflation (and I don't claim to know how long that will last) but it will not last forever, no matter who is in office.
Thank you for your wishes. Who we elect does steer our direction. Biden and the Democrats are borrowing money left and right for their political agenda, and the last bill they signed paid people more to stay home than work. Employers had to up their offerings to compete against government and of course, pass those costs to us, the consumer.
His war on energy is also very costly to businesses and transportation costs extremely high since all fuel generally increases proportionally. As a truck driver I can't tell you how much it used to cost to fill up my day cab. City and highway, I only got 6.5 miles per gallon and again, that cost has to be paid for by industry.
I say we are in for a long ride until we get rid of Biden and weaken the Democrat party. With them it's party first--country second. His next budget proposal is over 5 trillion dollars. The more phony money we print, the lower the value of the dollar and the higher inflation we will get. I won't even go into interest rate increases.
