If you can't visit the property yourself, I recommend having some 'boots on the ground'—someone you trust who can visit the area, walk around, and send you videos.

I’ve done rehab before and know how to cut costs there but have never built from the ground up.

I believe there’s a middle ground to be found, and I remain hopeful for the next three to five years.Has anyone heard from friends, family, or fellow investors expressing concerns that Florida is becoming a risky place, causing them to shy away from buying?

We are not investing in tech startups here.In negotiations, you might not always get down to the exact current income value, but by anchoring your offer on the facts, you can often pull the seller closer to a realistic middle ground.

While I have done a decent job in my spare time building a mailing list of interested parties (including a great survey that has taught me a lot about what buyers want there), I fear that not being on the ground there would hold me back.

Most turnkey operations also have excellent in-house management as well as real, true and established boots on the ground teams in place to help the buyer protect they’re investment and thereby lowering the investors risk.

Seriously considering but I need boots on the ground to service correctly.

Eventually I do think it would make sense to hire someone in the area though to help do somethings as boots on the ground.

Hello my name is William My family taught me how to build homes in the 90s from the ground up.

Soft ground or wet weather can speed up the sinking.In most cases, this is not a deal-breaker when purchasing a used mobile home.
