Apartment buildings, assisted living facilities, self storage, restaurants... 

I would probably work with an attorney in North Carolina (or wherever you live) to do some estate planning since you do have young kids.

I'd like to purchase an STR (I probably should have said that), being that I live in South Florida, Orlando isn't too far, but also not close enough that I can drop by anytime, so I thought I'd need a PM, or perhaps just a great team in place as far as a mechanic and cleaner, realtor and lender.Thanks again!  

You need a place to live.

I used to have a two bedroom apartment that I lived in and I would rent out the second room on Airbnb and one time I got a guest and she would leave her windows open.

Recently I’ve been living next to an illegal and poorly run STR operation and I can now better empathize with folks who strongly oppose them.

(I currently live in south MS, so the Gulf Coast is where I am looking)3.

We have a development coming up for approval with the county adding over 100 units bordering our small town and you can bet everyone that lives in our town is upset about it. in the end though, the planning commissions in our area tend to follow the letter of the law so to speak, so if there is nothing in ordinance barring it, they will approve, generally.

Buying site unseen is a huge risk unless the buyer and wholesaler have a history doing deals together.My buyers trust the deals that I bring them, but I also provide them with in-depth inspection reports along with photos/videos of the inspection along with multiple cost to completes through multiple contractors.
