I’m active duty Air Force and got my start in REI by maxing out my VA loan benefit with three properties.

Needs complete rehab ceiling is showing mold in living room and room kitchen cabinets has to be more updated flooring needs redone painting outside and in bathroom needs to be updated the property value is estimated 401k highest 437,090 rent in area I seen 2600 lowest highest being 2750 a contractor roughly estimated told me I’m looking at 134kIf it makes sense ofc I would love to hold and LTR  the sqft is 1214 I see same houses sold ending of last year for high as 450 that was smaller 1,140 sf Hospitals near by as well beach airport etc 

I agree with Sam and air on the side of caution with using a free lease from any site.

We are currently in the rehab stage of the property, and we are doing everything ourselves for the renovation excluding the heating and air.

I am gearing up to purchase an investment property and I am specifically looking in the area of Port Charlotte, FL and/or Punta Gorda, FL.

In fact, California sits 19 on the list.https://www.datapandas.org/ranking/crime-rate-by-stateI was recently in Orlando Florida and I got into an uber from the airport and the Driver proceeded to tell me all the areas I should avoid because they were dangerous, he then asked me where I was from and I told him I lived in California.

They had received funds to build a new ferry port for commuters, a new luxury apartment building, and redevelopment project for the waterfront area.

Thanks to super weak governance during the BLM riots Antifa and homeless.. allowing open air drug use ( legal drugs) and the killer theft under 900.00 is not enforced causing rampant thievery and many stores to close kind of like We see in the mid west and rust belt when neighborhoods change and retail exits as its not sustainable.

Worcester has many hospitals and an airport making it a great spot for mid term rentals. 

I think with the airport being built I’m scared that by saving for a larger purchase prices will go up.
