Land trusts can be an ideal choice in Florida, especially when working to shield properties and address Due on Sale (DOS) clause concerns effectively.

It's a good concern.

There are good selections of rugs that you can wash to place under the bed for warmth if that is your main concern. 

But I draw the line when there is risk of damage to the property, annoyance to the neighbors, health concerns, pests, etc.

@Garrett Brown you’ve got a lot of options, but it sounds like cash flow is a top concern.

I would be less concerned about trying to pick land based on future appreciation & selling. 

You seem extremely confident in your initial claims, take me up on it.Either way, I do appreciate the honest feed back on my posts from both of you, I understand that NY is one of the hardest markets to succeed in, but I am a firm believer in the Stockdale Paradox (Jim Collins, Good to Great).Best,-JonThis wasn't a back and forth.

I think this is extreme price gouging, especially since we did not agree to pay that kind of money and if he was expecting that kind of money, he should not have awaited to the very end to tell us.  

It is in a 55+ community so my concern is that I would only be able to choose tenants from certain demographic.

I am concerned about parking and how that would work parking more vehicles along the street.
