😊In other cases the ambiguity made it almost impossible to buy and insure. 

There's actually a moratorium that doesn't allow foreigners to buy most properties.

Too bad you can't buy something owner-occupied, put 5% down with the best interest rate, live in it for 12 months (and fix it up), rent it out and repeat the cycle.Here's some other info you might find useful:----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

Because later on, if you want to get a business line of credit, apply for grants, or pivot into a different industry (like buying an ice cream truck—hey, life happens), you can use the same LLC without lenders or banks assuming you're only doing risky real estate deals.

good area to buy. would love to discuss if you are looking for financing options

I'm not saying I would do this, and I haven't done the math yet, though I think I could get a normal policy with hurricane/wind as well as the prosper policy for less than it would cost to add wind/hurricane to the prosper policy.Hurricanes typically turn into tropical storms at best by the time they get to Orlando, so I don’t buy the same type of policy they offering for those on coast. 

But if you buy the property well, your downside risk is that it is short term rentals don't work, and you can simply sell it for hopefully no less than what you paid.That would be my mindset.

Want to know the best way to have a win-win in private lending---> do not give someone a loan who does not deserve it.We buy defaulted debt and I cannot tell you how many deals we are seeing right now to people who have never flipped a property and the numbers from the outset never worked, it also does not go into people without experience, its people with experience but attempting to work out of state or in other markets. 

You can't just go buy commercial RE.

Figure out what they're willing to pay, use those numbers to refine your search on houses you should buy.
