Yes, Per MLS: "Tenant on-site and need to coordinate 24-hours in advance".

I would always recommend working with a local real estate agent especially when doing out-of-state investments. The depth of knowledge and access to information just can't be obtained any other way. Even the most investor-friendly HOA requires a huge investment in time to learn and build the right relationships/connections. Flips are a bit easier. I hope this helps!

Hello Richie,

I apologize for the vague answer ahead of time but it depends. Generally speaking, there are no major concerns with the zip. No crime or anything out of the ordinary. In a lot of ways, it's quite ideal. But I would spend more time looking at the condo association and its bylaws. These, hoa's are all very different and they are going to be the biggest determinate of this investment. Also, I would recommend only looking at the rental rates and ARV's just within the community you are looking at.

Hello Andrew,

I think your instincts are correct. With more than half of all buyers coming from outside the region, your home's online presence is everything. In this market, there is no shortage of listings. So you have to be constantly thinking about why a buyer would choose to tour your property instead of all the others. Staging is property specific (so it depends) but high-end professional photographs are always necessary. 

Let me know if you have any more questions.

Are you ever looking for speakers? I'd love to time one of my IRS audits down there with a REIA meeting

Yes, I would recommend reaching out to Mike Lyons with any questions regarding the SWFL REIA. His contact info is on the website. Hope this helps.
