There is a great group of members on here to connect with.

We have a couple of houses that we would like to hold on to for now and possibly sell in a couple of years.

Instead of keeping them, I'd look to sell them and buy something more suitable as a long term rental.If you want to know why I have such a strong opinion on this, just google the following: - HOA Special Assessment - Florida Condos 2024 - search for news on the new laws - Zombie Condos

@Andy Ptak when jumping into the industry you have a few choices:1) Start at the bottom2) Leverage your experience to convince someone to give you a chance3) Decide between:--- Big companies who will usually start you at the bottom--- Small companies that will more like to a chance on hiring you for an above entry level position.

For example, I will send a tenant the lease renewal options and give them one week to respond.

Philip, it really depends on your county’s housing authority.

February 5th will be the next one! 

Hi @Bryce Cover,First, congratulations on your growing family and your successful real estate investment so far!

If your goal is to maximize cash flow, look for properties where you can live in one unit and rent the others at market rates.
