My approach isn’t aiming for an overnight transformation but rather a gradual strategy where I reinvest equity gains and cash flow into scalable opportunities.

When they gained 5 pounds during the day but lost it overnight, they will be the first to tell you"I lost 5 pounds since yesterday...."

I have been to FLA in Summer and thats some tough weather .Kind of like  PHX  Vegas and Palm springs  summer is dead and winter is high season.You would think summer season would be dead here (because it's just gross with humidity, hurricanes and heavy rains), but it's actually pretty busy just about the same as winter.

In theory (and I understand that this may be wishful thinking), but if you find a trustworthy broker and contractor, then wouldn't they do most of the heavy lifting?

Especially with the way the holidays fell and at least for us some pretty heavy snow storms.I try my best to have leases end between April and October.

My job is our sole income and I get relocated for projects frequently so any property would have to be managed remotely (willing to invest anywhere in the states).Given the our situation above and our long term goals, I feel best next steps would be a heavy emphasis on networking and deal analysis.

It stops nonsense before it starts and keeps your property safe (and your sanity intact).Hard on Paper, Soft in PracticeMy lease was stricter than a middle-school dress code: no overnight guests, no smoking anywhere, and quiet hours that would make a library blush.

. - Property type (single-family homes, duplexes, or small multifamily)- Min/max square footage or number of bedrooms and bathrooms- Desired cash flow or ROI metrics to ensure profitability- Property Condition (turnkey, light cosmetic fixes, or heavy rehab)- Neighborhood type (A/B-class areas for appreciation vs.

.)• NNN - purchase triple net lease opportunity (1031 everything into it, managed under trust, tenant takes care of everything) • Sell each off the normal way (even spreading out one a year, heavy tax implications and truly diminishes decades of work.) • Give/donate each away-----I expect many here have already been through similar dilemmas and interested in experiences, lessons learned.

If OP can lever-up while maintaining adequate reserves, he will be in better position than buying with heavy cash position.
