Within my 20 years of experience, I'd highly recommend looking into Central Florida, especially areas like Tampa, Holiday, New Port Richey, Port Richey, Seffner, and Lakeland.

I know Air/VRBO are strongly pushing for hosts to offer non-cancellable bookings at a 10% discount. 

Adding a 1/2 bath, new roof, central air or other typical improvements will increase the value of the property. 

I can buy a 2-4 unit with 20% down vs conventional can only buy a 2-4 INVESTMENT property with 25% down 4. there are options where DSCR loans dont repot to personal credit, helps in not having to show a bunch of paperwork or not one person in a partnership has to carry the debt5. way less paperwork to close on this loan type vs a conventional loan. we care about the income of the property you're buying and it's ability to service the debt of the property whether we use long term rents income, lease income, or air dna/bnb income.6. easily buy in partnerships, add people to your operating agreement, its as easy as that so bring partners into a deal. helps with scaling and raising capital or getting partners involved7. gift funds allowed to close on these as well, and like I said earlier, there's only a 10day seasoning period of funds with some lenders so that means you can literally have a private money lender deposit money into your account 11 days before closing, and you can use those funds to close!

Hey gang, I've been radio silent on the forums for years. I sat out the boom bust since 2008 and focused on returning to full health after a spine injury. Now I've got a property under contract:$78K purchase$35K in de...

I retired in 2008 with 21 years in the Air Force.13 sales in your first year is pretty impressive, particularly for someone on active duty.

We have used actuals and projections from air dna to come up with rent.

The cold air often runs out in the summer and the heat doesn't turn on in the winter.

And also being next to a base Im thinking about short term renting, or Air BNB How did you finance this deal?

Let's clarify the air-conditioning equipment.
