Rents have gone up but nowhere near enough to overcome it. 

While it would take up half the yard, with proper lanscaping, it can be made into a nice looking haven for the tenants if they choose to use it.Could rent out for $1k in the area.

I looked it up and read that’s an electrical fire hazard.

A quick internet search suggests that foreign national loans can provide up to 75% LTV.

., etc.One thing I could argue is to have your tenants ONLY email you, especially for maintenance requests, and that email goes directly to the vendor that you have set up to handle it.

I don't know any builders here, so I am wondering a few things: - Does anyone have a builder that would be interested in doing a single infill project (there is another infill lot going up on the street, might try and connect with them) - I am in between paying for it myself with cash during construction (maybe the home will cost 150-200k to build?)

values went up big time ....It’s not that bad.

Great day to all,I've just been soaking up all the online youtube videos from Bigger pockets one after the other and I've made the determination to scale my business massively using the multifamily addition into our (wife and I) portfolio. 

@Gabriella Swan, with your management experience already in place, house hacking seems like a perfect entry into real estate.

In FL PS only provides about 37% of the leads/oppertunities going through the county records offices (I have  study I have done comparing the 2 to back this up if you want me to post it/send it) recorder offices Florida and Hilsborough are obviously competitive but if your getting information before everyone else and using it fast in the market where it matters its not so competititve.If your leads are for say absentee owner, tired  landlord then you want the owner to have had the property for longer to hopefully increase motivation.
