Hi all,I am new to the BP community and would like feedback / pointers on how to learn more about potentially getting an out of state winter home / STR investment property in Jacksonville Beach, Florida. 

My parameters were that I did not want to add more than 2-3 employees, I did not want to give up control over the u;to are yes - no investment decision, and I didn’t want my position to become a full time job.  

Everything I see for the northern VA area and beyond market is just so unattainable; it seems like unless you have a down payment, that is way way way more than 20 percent, there is no way to get any positive cash flow.

By adhering to our standard procedures, we’re able to maintain consistency and fairness across all tenants, avoiding any perception of favoritism.Thanks again for your feedback!

The Numbers:Cash Flow Analysis: Investors typically look for properties that will generate positive cash flow—meaning the income from rent covers the property’s expenses (mortgage, taxes, maintenance, etc.) and then some.

That showing was yesterday  Would love if you give feedback on actual listing.

For example, intro's to people here that can help you with certain specialties, planning, feedback on neighborhoods, financing of course, etc.

I'd love to hear any input/feedback on investing in New England, New Hampshire, or the Seacoast.

We also have over 5,000 residents that we trying to impact in a positive way.

•Likely, the new property wouldn’t be cashflow positive due to the market conditions.2.Upgrade to a Bigger Property and Sell•Sell our current home and move into a larger house to better meet our family’s needs.• Use some equity from the sale to make this transition smoother.I’m torn between maintaining our current home as an asset and buying  a new smaller house to use as a rental after we move back in versus simplifying and focusing on a single upgraded property Considering factors like market trends, potential equity growth, and quality of life, which path do you think would be most beneficial?
