We are also considering an investment property loan so we could then stay in our current place and then rent out our 2nd property.Thats a good thing to keep in mind about STR revenue.How do you usually run your numbers and know what revenue to expect before buying a property?

Would love to meet like minded folks in SWFL.

go to all the networking events you can. get around like minded individuals. read read read. always take in good information. then take action. best lessons are from action.

In my mind this all goes back to RISK.  

You’ll typically find professionals or higher-income renters in these neighborhoods, so it can make a big difference when it comes to peace of mind and property maintenance.

Keep in mind, though, if you just sell outright, you could be looking at capital gains and depreciation recapture, so it’s worth crunching the numbers with a proper tax professional (I’m not one, by the way).What do you think the rest of the community has seen happen to property values since last year, and do you believe it changes the 1031 conversation?

I mean in general what sort of expert should I try finding first, but if someone has specific people in mind who deal with the UP that works for me too.

But if you have a self-directed IRA or 401k, keep this strategy in mind, as it could potentially save you hundreds of thousands of dollars in taxes.

We get free leads every single day on auto-pilot.Also, you are not looking for distressed properties.You are looking for motivated sellers.

Condos are cheaper than houses, and to my mind, a vacationer wouldn't care much about staying in a bigger place for their short stay, and would be more concerned with a good location and a nice view.Thoughts?
