Hey @Kizzy Williams, I know these investment hot spots very well. Let me know how I can help out. All these areas have opportunity but it really depends what your priorities and expectations are. Right now with this market one thing I lean towards with my investors is equity gains. How much will the property be worth in 3,5, or 10 years. Like I said it depends on your goal and expectations. You can google my name and shoot me a text if you need anything. I live in Palm Beach Gardens myself. Best of luck!

Hey @Chris Martin, I am a realtor in the area and have experience with this. In short no, you're good to go to rent to your coworkers..

Just like @Andrew Postell said, claim the income and you have nothing to worry about.

Since I am local, let me know if you have any other specific questions, would be happy to help you out

I would recommend considering adding in to their responsibility for the property. For example "Any minor repairs or maintenance under $250.00 is the tenants responsibility."  If it is a good tenant its still fine to raise rent but keep in mind the benefits of a good tenant. No evictions, they pay on time, take care of your property etc.. So by adding the small maintenance responsibility on them they will be more inclined to care for the AC, washer, dryer, fridge and water heater accordingly with basic maintenance. Cause what cuts into your profit more than anything will be repairs and damages.

Cold call, door knock. Learn to sell. Work on your mind set and build habits and continue to stack them. This business is not complicated. Very simple, not always easy.

I have done deals in that area with investors. Lots of potential. One thing I always look at when considering areas is the development plans. Is Whole foods, Target and other big names coming soon there? Thats a good sign. Those businesses put lots of money into resources for finding the next place to set up shop. So I recommend you check out the development plans for the area to get a feel for what the future potentially holds. I am an agent and am very familiar with this area so let me know if you need anything, feel free to shoot me a message. Best of luck to you.

Hey @Celebra Queen, really depends on market rents and the potential of taking that route. Obviously if you rent it, you would have to get more than what that mortgage payment is or else it becomes an expense. I do understand since November of 2022 in some areas equity gains have been minimal plus that time window of ownership is very short. I am an agent in the area and work with many investors as well as home owners. Anything from flips to airbnb to rentals and sales. Let me know if you are looking to put a game plan together and we can find out the best route for you and your daughter to take.

I will shoot you a message with my contact info now.
