With my STRs here in Tampa Florida.  

My LOT was $32,500 and then they added the FOA to cover the first 2-3 years. 

I'm going to exclude my personal residence from this because I don't view this as an investment, I need a place to live.Excluding my primary residence my current breakdown is 47% real estate 53% stocks/cash. 

I just need to be pointed in the right direction because I get deals in my inbox from people I communicate with all over the country.

As I've come to terms with this I have taken the last five months to regroup and really think about the future which brings me to my post and what I'd like to get the communities opinion on.I successfully negotiated and acquired one of my duplexes in 2017 that I nearly have paid off (note balance is $54k, property value $230k).

In this case, you have 158 sq.ft. difference, so, for my example, that would be an adjustment downward of $5530 to $7,900 on the sales price of the comp.

Also what are solid reasons/hardships I can list in my rezoning request that will get it approved?

@Ella Marie, I can't speak on behalf of your market, but in my respective market, competition is tough, and the successful fix-and-flip vendors are often full-time operating businesses.

Quote from @Jonathan Baptiste: I am doing my first deal that needs substantial renovations.

I'm trying to raise funds from my family and I am being asked to produce pro-forma scenarios at 2, 5, and 10 years which should include IRR and ROI.
