Vermont's Morristown (village: Morrisville) offers ski-resort proximity at a fraction of Stowe's prices, with homes in the $385K–$500K range versus million-dollar Stowe properties. Unlike Breckenridge, Morrisville doesn't cap STR permits — a crucial regulatory edge for long-term investors.

Dave Meyer argues for driving-distance STR markets — places families can reach in 2–3 hours without booking a flight. Blue Ridge, Georgia fits perfectly, sitting between Atlanta and Nashville and within reach of Asheville, Charlotte, and even Chattanooga. It shares the appeal of the Smoky Mountains — outdoor activities, a large lake, hiking — but without the supply glut that is currently hammering returns for Smoky Mountain investors. [1] — Dave Meyer "Blue Ridge, Georgia sits between Atlanta and Nashville, drawing visitors from Asheville and Charlotte — without the Smoky Mountains' supply…" 20:50 Too many people bought Airbnbs in the Smokies, and now there's fierce competition for the same demand. Blue Ridge hasn't been flooded yet. Home prices range from $400,000 to $600,000 for quality properties, average daily rates top $350, and the best operators clear $100,000 annually. Meyer's playbook: buy bigger — 4 or 5-bedroom homes — because family-reunion and group-travel demand for larger properties outpaces supply, commanding a premium that justifies the higher purchase price.
Blue Ridge, Georgia STRs have an average daily rate above $300–$350, with top performers earning over $100,000 annually.
Robby Hoffman has never bought a depreciating car. She flipped a $3,600 Toyota Corolla into a $6,000 sale, used that for a Cayman, flipped it for $18,000, and bought her dream 2001 Porsche 911 for a net $10,000.
Ryan carries the Sig P365 for daily carry and a suppressed .300 Blackout rifle at home — specifically because green-tip .223 flies through human bodies and walls, risking his kids' rooms. Strickland carries the Sig P365 AXG and a PSA AR-15 in .223. They debate why .300 Blackout matters for home defense and mock Staccato owners in equal measure.
Bobby never checks a bag — for any trip, including Australia. His secret: one pair of raw denim jeans (to develop a fade), sardine cans as in-flight snacks, and a Klingon hunting knife on his keychain. Andrew questions everything. Jimmy suggests he just check a bag for two weeks.
The crew drafts their Mount Rushmore of spoon foods. Ice cream goes first overall, soup goes second, and PFT shockingly passes on cereal to take gelato (then mashed potatoes), letting Hank and Zach steal cereal in the third round — a mistake PFT immediately regrets.
At 14, Achatz's father bought a disassembled 1970 GTO for $1,400 and spent two years rebuilding it with his son using the factory manual. The project taught Grant hands-on problem-solving — the same obsessive attention to how things are put together that would later define his kitchen.
A brief promo for Points North, an NPR Network podcast from Interlochen Public Radio featuring immersive stories about the natural world around the Great Lakes.
Sony stopping physical disc production sounds alarming, but Patrick Beja points to PC gaming as the test case: the platform went fully digital via Steam, the used game market disappeared, and yet games are cheaper in real terms than they were 20 years ago thanks to constant sales. The real fight should be for digital consumer rights, not physical media.
Richard recommends Monopoly Deal (the card game version of Monopoly, faster and nastier) and Wilkie Collins's Victorian novel 'No Name', which he says is ripe for a TV adaptation. Marina recommends live tournament football — the only thing on her mind after 1 hour's sleep.
The Campaign for North Africa board game takes roughly 20 years to complete at a reasonable pace, and no one has ever actually finished it. Pierre already knows the Italian forces need extra water for pasta, which is technically accurate to the rules.
