Additionally, our strategic marketing efforts highlighted the property's new features, attracting buyers quickly.

I can understand some things, such as new window, but are cosmetic improvements such as paint and power washing really necessary for Section 8 approval?

I am a partner in a General Contracting business building new Custom and Production homes.

My new wife and I are moving to FL with family because we think we'll be able to build wealth much easier here.Luckily, we'll be living with family for a bit while we get settled.

It is time to ask for some help making a new strategy for my mixed-use property.Background:I have a mixed use multi-family building in a commercial district zoned as Urban Mix.

Just bought new STR in Florida.

I'm not in the market hands on, being in New Jersey, but I have been heavily researching the market recently.

Everything Ken said plus plaster walls, no insulation, higher electric bills, walls sweating when its humid in florida and the resident leaves front door open, damp smelly houses, Pealing paint, wood rot, old windows, crawl space under the home, bdrm and closet doors that don't close properly, electric locks that the old front door doesn't like as the door is not aligned correctly, Cyrstal knobs that fall off, old thermostats with 2 lines but my new thermostat needs 3 lines, critters in the fireplace....

I would be reluctant to sell this property given its current advantages over a new purchase.  

Was able to use our existing property as leverage on the new property thru the same bank.
