That’s definitely the ideal scenario that I was concocting in my head to convince myself to give them a shot, but without them showing much interest in submitting a more formal application I opted to deny the request.

We are sandwiched between well known hot spots and its an ideal location for someone who wants to explore the beach life or any of the down-town areas nearby (Los Angeles, Long Beach, Redondo, Manhattan, Southbay Etc), new build with modern amenities, washer/dryer in unit, full sized fridge, dishwasher, professional range cooktop, queen bedroom, full standing shower, large kitchen, full sized couch in the living room, private front patio. 

Ideally it's nice to be in the hotspots such as WPB, FTL, Miami, but have found that the suburbs have been killing it as well.

Having leaving leases line up so that any future owner can easily move in or even get financing is ideal.

And I feel the ideal portfolio benefits from the diversification of both (and that's why I do both).And, what I see on this conversation is that some people are looking at *one* particular type of syndication and assuming that *all* of them must be the same.

Ideally, you want a professional career (skilled labor) and a stable multi-year job.

Ideally we would do a hybrid str/mtr.

Assuming this is an investment property, keeping track of your expenses and income in a separate bank account (not personal) and ideally holding the property in an LLC
