Hey Aaron - I am over in Tampa, closeby. 

Quote from @Steve NA: Hello All,I am new to investing in general (outside of a condo I have rented over the years).

Since it was over 12 months with my HML, I ended up taking the property under my name with a 30-year conventional loan.

I would love to connect over zoom or a phone call and talk to you about the market and how it's moving right now!

The most successful loans are those that do not procrastinate and get the appraisers In ASAP so you can get over any unexpected bump in the underwriting process.

When I tried to get it when my side of the family found out and tried ti take over reverser mortgage payments to bank because she had died it was to late so they sold the house to Hud and then other reverse mortgage companies but a relative still lives there so they can't kick them out.

In person is better than over the phone if possible, as I have been told by annoyed or lazy clerks "NO STR allowed" as that was the easy button to get me off the phone, or if they are anti STR. 

On market, $6,000 over ask offer and waived inspections due to the pristine condition of the building and garage.

Also, the tax benefits you expect might be over-hyped: https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/51/topics/1075919-five-...Figuring our whether there is a useful tax strategy in your situation would take a one-on-one consultation with an experienced tax strategist, and here is how to find one: https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/51/topics/1222774-expla... 

We have grossed $300k in revenue over the first 12 months of operation, at a ~50% profit margin.
