Maximize cashflow via STR (hoping to get 7-8% net)Second question, with these goals which would be the most attractive area for such an investment: Miami Beach, Miami Downtown, Brickell, Midtown.Thinking of getting 2 condos (1 bd or 1bd + den) ~$750-1M eachPayment structured are usually 30-40% until project is completeThank you find undervalued land and entitle it and capture the delta of underpriced land. there's a lot of sites that are underentitled.

When there is enough delta between new rates and previous rates, lenders do a sort on properties that have changed hands but have not been paid off.

Got tired of getting laid off- down sized(u gotta love corporate) and being just over broke all in the name of job security-LOL.Living in LA but" have sky miles will travel".

Rent the place and have a delta of -$2k per month I carry each month.

But the delta between $143K asking vs the "at cost" seems too much for me.  

A lot of Delta Air Lines employees opt to live south of the city for easy access & less traffic to reach the airport.

Delta Airlines.  

So the question is, is the economic delta between where you live and where you invest big enough?

Doug Beaty at Delta Title Services is a good one.

The 110 gallon tub was free, some renters left it behind.The heat exchanger shell was free, it was a 30 gallon water storage tank for an RV.The pump and hose I had sitting around.Fire wood is free.Most of the piping for the exchanger was stuff I had sitting around, but paid about $50 for 50 feet of pipe.Welding consumables, about $10.With a good fire, the water delta is about 30 degrees.
