Looking for a GC to pull a permit for me in the City of Hialeah, Florida. I have a violation on a property that is owned under a trust and the city will not allow me to pull the permit as an owner builder. I will correct the violation issues on my own, I just need a contractor to pull the permit.

Looking to get more info on Cape Coral Florida. Have a lot there with ocean access. Anybody in that area that works as a realtor who'd be willing to show us around and fill us in on the different areas and the RE market. We may decided to sell the lot or build on it, depending upon our research.

I currently have a trust that I purchase properties under. I am currently purchasing a property and I will be financing it.  The lender is not allowing me to purchase under the trust. How do I go about protecting this property and avoiding a probate situation? Am I going to have to create a will in addition to the trust I have, explaining to whom this particular property should go to?

I have rental properties that are fully paid off and I would like to take cash out on at least one of them. What is the best way to do this, HELOC or cash out refinance. I don't want to make payments until I'm using the money for another investment. I was looking into a HELOC with a local bank but they are making me pull the money out at closing eventhough I can turn around an put it back in after 2 works but I'm little confused on how much this will cost me while I have it out for 2 weeks.. I just want to have the HELOC or cash available for when I find a good deal to buy.

I have received 80% of my rents this month. Pleasantly surprised but expecting that worst is yet to come. 50% of my rental portfolio is section 8 and most of those section 8 recipients I have are individuals who need the assistance of a caseworker, don't have cellphones and are not tech savvy and I will say the the extra work I do with these tenants is most definitely worth it.
