That will completely break my self-sufficiency test. 

Mine were: 216 Earl Street, Daytona Beach, FL, purchase price $325,000 and $289,0001189 Jimmy Ann Drive, Daytona Beach, FL purchase price $89,000 and $135,000There were 4 contracts, two for each address with the different prices, had the seller's name and his name as the buyer.  

If you have commercial experience and are an excellent asset manager (managing the property manager, driving revenue, reducing expenses,  managing GCs)You wont just provide value to a sponsorYou will be highly sought-after after by sponsorship groups.The ones worth their salt know how incredibly valuable a strong asset manager is (and how much work it takes)So if you can bring that skillset, I have a feeling it won't take long for you to find a sponsorship team. 

Turnkey properties are popular in Old North, Merion Village, Southern Orchards, Old Towne East, Driving Park, North Linden, North Hilltop, Franklinton, Reynoldsburg, and Hungarian Village.For BRRRR and Fix & Flip, consider Eastmoor, Hilltop, Whitehall, and Linden.

I may not fully understand what drives the market and what to look for to stay ahead of the game, but I'm trying.. do you typically hold the property longer this time of the year?

There is no HOA  and the setting is such that a person would not drive up and necessarily see the roof.

This year we had a heat pump cleaning, testing refrigerant charge (didn't need any added) and a capacitor replacement, bill was $157.05, factor I consider are the age of the existing unit, if it needed a charge, potential leak, cost of refrigerant (over the years there have been many varients of the type of refrigerant). 

A couple of thoughts specific to condo investing:1) Be sure to include the condo fees into your cashflow analysis, and budget for potential assessments as projected capital expenses2) Make sure the condo association is solvent - a good litmus test is whether or not the units are approved for FHA financing3) Make sure the condo association rules/regs allow for rentalsGood luck!

The only cost is the price of gasoline to drive there.
