Hello,

Currently have a single family rental in St Augustine South and a triplex in Crescent beach. We are looking for a property manager that deals with long term 12+ month rentals. Local investors so we would really like to find someone local to connect with and hopefully build with.

Thank you

I work a a fire department in the area full time. I stumbled upon this strategy by way of the recruit school that new firefighters go though when they are first hired. The county I work for has training burns where they will literally burn a house to the ground. Not every fire department will do this, so I would advise you to check with your local authorities to see if this could be an option for you. This process also doesn't happen over night (its the government you're working with) but I can give you a break down of how everything went.

• The home owner contacted the fire dept. over a month in advance to before we ever stepped foot on the property.
• The house had been gutted of every single appliance in it (water heater, stove, dishwasher etc.) prior to the fire dept arriving,
• the Fire dept does not pay for the clean up for the property after the burn (at least our county doesn't)

This is for a very specific situation but there are perks for the home owner for the demolition of the property. The amount of weight being hauled off of your property will be at a minimum, cut in half. the demo of the property will take much less time, costing you much less money. You will also have the moral perk of being able to give the people who will be protecting your assets an opportunity to train on the real thing. In my experience it was a win win both ways, from the home owner and firefighters perspective.

Attached are images from the house post burn. originally it was a mobile home, but at some point they had completely put up a white brick facade and added an addition in the rear of the house, and a front porch.

New investor here in the north east Florida area. Currently we have a property with a lease signed for November 1st and have just purchased our next BRRR property. I am looking for recommendations for a lawyer in Florida who specializes in real estate asset protection. thanks in advance for any and all recommendations!

@Brian Oen looking forward to it!

@Jenn Barona Thank you so much for your response! I have shared this info to my mother and the listing should currently include both fha and USDA loans. And we have professional pictures scheduled to be taken Monday. Do you feel as if the property is currently overpriced?

@Toby M.

Those are all honestly excellent ideas and I thank you very much for that.  The wedding/event I had not considered but I do see potential in that. We have not considered Airbnb duels to the fact that the house is currently unfurnished.Marketing to horse owners has been our goal  for the sale and renting to them is also a viable option. I will talk to my mother about the contract and to see if she can get a copy to read over. Asking price is 370k. 1,997 sq ft concrete block house, 3bed 2.5 bath.  Interior Paint, floors, hvac system and roof all redone with in the last 6 months. Hvac is 2 years old

Hello and good afternoon to all from Gainesville Florida. Go gators!

My mother and myself have recently got the rental bug and are looking to cash out on a current property of ours. The house is already listed with a local listing agent here in Gainesville. It has been on the market for 71 days with very little action. 2 showings so far. We have cut the price 19k dollars and racked on a buying agent incentive with realativly no change in interest. My mother did inform me she signed a 6 month contract with the listing company. We have been less then impressed with the service thus far.

The property is realativly unique in the fact that it sits 1/4 of a mile of of a paved road and down a less then desirable paved road. The home is also very private with 6 wooded acres wrapping around the 4 cleared acre it is located in. It comes with a fully enclosed 2 stall barn with water and electric. Also included is a 1 acre fenced in pasture. 

Personally I would like to see this property sold yesterday. Due to it being a pain to keep the yard maintained living here in Florida. The grass literally grows over your ankles in days. Any suggestions to help sell this property would be greatly appreciated. I am 25 and just getting into this real estate thing. I have been enjoying every minute of learning it so far. But there has definitely been some growing pains. Thank you for responses!
