The foundation was already approved, permitted and finaled years ago for a 3400 sf house, and its solid and I won't be building directly on the overhang edge; but rather back away from the edge a few feet to prevent any load issues all the weight will be on the longer sides of the existing footing.

small homes don't work. we build a stacked triplex much more affordably. density is key and vertical is the key. use that land cost and fixed costs more efficiently. everything we build for apartments is less than 700 square feet and only 2 beds and all 3 story walk ups and all triplexes. by building codes 4 family is commercial and also becomes cost prohibitive.

My short term objective is to get my feet wet with my first investment property to learn the ropes while also having my hand held a little bit.

I'm leery of high leverage until I get my feet under me and some experience, so I'm aiming at smaller deals to learn the process before trying to hit a home run.

Making a well-rounded decision can lead to long-term success in real estate investment.

I think if anyone chose to focus on inbound crews and create parking like you said, as well as crew amenities (large dining areas, etc), they would be booked year-round and in-demand.

It's an easier way to get your feet wet as a landlord without the stress of handling major renovations.

I’ve helped several clients in similar situations find their first vacation properties here in Florida, and the Panhandle is fantastic for beginners because of its year-round tourism and robust support networks (property managers, cleaning services, etc.).

The BAM family is very well rounded with a clean track record. 

I was hoping to do a deal and get my feet wet with something relatively simple to start.
