I'm born and raised in Houston and now work with a full service long-term rental management managing over 300 doors - all SF or MU (up to 4 unit).

This collaborative approach not only enriches your understanding but also opens doors to potential partnerships and investment opportunities.

Ensure you collect a proper security deposit (typically one month's rent in Florida) to cover potential damages.Your plan to increase rent next year makes sense given rising costs (taxes, insurance, and maintenance).

Would real estate prices in certain regions rise rapidly due to demand from both local and international buyers? 

I know depending on where an investor is in their fix and flip journey and the market this will vary, but Im curious because I feel like this is important when it comes to a good deal since some investors might not mind making less to have more doors. 

Ironically most people MOVED to the area from somewhere else and then wanted to slam the door shut behind them...   

Laundromats that are next to (same building) or attachedwith an access door to a coffee shop, cafe, etc are the best ones to get.

You'll need something like 125 units netting $200 per door to get there, that's about 10 million worth of multifamily in today's money, so you'll need about 3 million in down payments.

It wasn’t teh flashiest deal, but it’s been rock-solid through rising rates and market swings.
