What's the zoning on the property and do you have a relationship or contact with the local rep? 

Stay on top of things, stay organized, and track every important date, from due diligence to contract extensions.Early on, I got myself into some pretty stressful situations.

Best bet though is a local community business bank.. 

My vision is for this meetup to be informal and organic.

Are you considering expanding locally or branching out to other areas?

Join your local REIA to know more.etc etc etc.   

Before making any decision, I would get a customized property evaluation by a local Realtor to determine the value of the property on both sides of the spectrum; sale OR rental. 

Hi Isaiah, I am based in Fort Lauderdale and can speak to the local market directly.  

Here in FL in addition to management I also broker for investors, and curate a weekly vetted STR list with local homes. 

I looked at local companies, and while many locals have great boots on the ground, they lack the economies of scale and systems like what Avantstay uses to attract, vet, monitor, and enforce.
