Being OOS, finding a good investor friendly agent, who you can trust, is the most important.

Correct me if I'm wrong but VRBO is very clunky and not very host friendly.

Are you trying to hand your “friend” a 50% taxable gain that you’re going to keep?

It’s great to hear that you’re exploring real estate opportunities in Jacksonville, especially with your focus on Class B properties and military-friendly options.

Ex: If you want passive income you shouldn't be doing flipping.

Out of town, especially in places that are tenant friendly or C/D areas, are for experienced investors only.

@Mike Gi be sure to check Airbnb longer stays and Furnished Finder to see what your competition's pricing and decor are like and make your properties pet friendly if you can as this is always a way to out compete the competition.

I remember a friend of mine a few years back who tried something similar in the outskirts of San Antonio.

WE did this for go zone tax bene's  which worked well in those years.but the issue comes that keeping nice bigger new homes in great shape just cost more than little rental dingers.. and in fact as i sold them off I had to do 10 to 20k of cap ex on each one to get full market price.. 

Hey friends, I'm an agent in Daytona Beach and I locking in my first short term rental listing.
