Quote from @Itay Heled: I manage nearly 400 rentals and demand is high.

Quote from @Charles J Sabo: This will be huge for house hackers out there. 95%LTV on 2-4 unit properties.

@Desiree Board For your mix of long-term rentals (LTRs), short-term rentals (STRs), and house flipping, an LLC is ideal for liability protection and pass-through taxation.

@Carlos Ptriawan how do you mean, "management required the LTV to be lower than 50-60 percent" ?

@Kyle Shipleycan you house hack?

Finding the right GC, broker/real estate agent, and property manager is key in most deals. 

My wife and I moved down to Central Florida from Hamburg just over 5 years ago and are running our own brokerage and property management company. 

I started off with 3 houses on a lot and another house two lots down.

I need to redo the roof of the house lift up the second floor, the entire front deck of the house, demolish the old stucco, And replaced a lot of rotten wood and messed up beams.does anyone have any recommendations?
