What are some good alternatives?  

Is it better than your alternative uses for your money?

Hopefully helpful as you start looking around the market, as the only other alternative is to buy cash!

I'm looking for alternatives, I liked LandlordStudio actually but I hate the name, seems so impersonal to the tenants and not in their favor.  

Alternatively, your brother could buy your share, which would result in capital gains tax for you on the difference between your share's original cost and its current value.

Alternatively, you would need to drop your rents by $500 or more to have the same impact on your cashflow and your value.

Pretty,  as others have stated here, the permitting process through the City of Cape Coral has been hindered by their ability to scale up their staff to handle the massive demands for all permitting including new construction but also anything else that requires a permit, home improvements, sea walls, alternative sea walls, pools and more.From your post, I can see that you are frustrated, and I believe some of that is due to not understanding the steps and processes of new construction, including what must be done prior to submitting permits.

I currently own a few properties here in Bryan-College Station, I have a full time sales job so try to stay as passive as possible. This is why I haven't done STR or anything. I'm currently only cash flowing about $10...

Yes, I also feel hesitant about letting other tenants know that I am the property owner.I agree that targeting areas with good neighborhoods and higher class ratings is a safer choice.

However, when I am unable to run screening reports due to this, we can push them to our "alternate screening".
