Quote from @Christian Mejia: We recently purchased our first investment property in Florida with the assistance of Rent to Retirement and I just wanted to say it was a smooth process.

the  I have seen a lot of properties come and go.  

The past 2 1/2 years I’ve flipped some properties and have wholesaled some.

My neighbor did STR on 2 properties in Long Beach, but only allowed 30+ day rentals so that he did not have to register with the city.

Also, while it won't cashflow right away, rental rates will continue to rise and in 3-4 years it will very likely be a cash-flowing property (it's in a prime location with tons of upside and development going on around it). 

Getting into almost any property in Charlottesville for under $200,000 is quite the feat.

They can take time with their search and be more selective about a property’s location and condition.

For co-living spaces, it’s important to confirm that lenders are comfortable with the unique rental model, as it can impact property valuation.

If they over-promise and under-deliver, transfer the next property to a different PM.

On the flip side, I am in the process of acquiring over $1.5M in defaulted DSCR loans form borrowers who are your age that put 25% down but had no money to fix any of the problems  = lost the renters and walked from the property.
