 Can't find where you guys are

No condos whatsoever seems to be the agreement. Thank you everyone for your input and opening my eyes.

Hello bigger pockets forum,

If you had to buy a vacation rental property, would you buy into an association specifically for vacation rentals or a traditional condo that allows rentals?

I'm considering purchasing a vacation rental and it feels like a traditional condo might be better if things went wrong. Which one would you choose?

This gives me many ideas. Thanks all!

Hello community!

I'm using this online app: https://www.cashflowestimator.com to calculate a rental property's cashflow. I wanted to know how to accurately determine a property's taxes & insurance to get a more correct result.

Thanks in advance!

@Stetson Miller, many thanks. If i were to consider cashflow as opposed to equity, which area(s) would you recommend and why?

I just might end up needing your realty services around these areas. Thanks again.

@Patricia Steiner, thank you for your pointers. What sources do you recommend I use to boost my market knowledge?

Hello community!

I'm a complete newbie in real estate investing. I own a home in south Florida and recently got some equity cash out to start investing in my first rental property. The issue is, prices here are through the sky. Houses built in 1946 mildly renovated are going for 300k. I thought about looking at nearby cities like Naples, Fort Myers etc but I'm not sure these places will grow fast enough so I can get some equity and do it all over again.

Anyways, I'm open to suggestions on investment locations in Florida. 

Thank you in advance! Carl
