We are a long-time partner and supporter of the BP community.

I'm currently in a rent to own house we are moving out of and will be renovating and renting.

We are planning on purchasing an STR (probably condo) in the Treasure Island area of St Pete.  

We are new so funds are very limited, is there a process you guys use to make sure legalities are set up right, and can they charge on the close of the deal?

Happy to share my experience if you want to send me a PM.RyanHey Ryan, we are in the process of looking at buying a house for an STR in the beach Mountain area.

We are just starting to research and plan for a move out to the southeast somewhere, still in early planning phase. 

The other thing I have done especially if we are approaching winter months is just tell the insurance company that we will have them done in spring.

We understand that but frankly we are extremly reluctant to ablidge.

We are in Iowa and he noted he wouldn’t do a basement.  

in a stick frame market and one of the cheapest markets to build we build with margin at $190 or so a square foot. that will go up over time about 5% or 10% a year to keep up with new build price increases. we are buidling a 3 story walk up and source some of the lowest priced crews.
