For me and my goals, I focus on long-term investing in residential single-family homes in Florida and Georgia.

I'm a home inspector looking to break into REI.

Or just avoid ST booking platforms.2) Converting the roof into a terrace (apt. on the top floor).

Part of the reason coastal values haven't quite scaled to heights of neighboring states is the remoteness and lack of winter sports and high end amenities and entertainment, but that doesn't mean trophy estates, ranches and homes don't exist.

Many claim they do not charge a markup, but then aren't transparent with invoices, etc. 1) If a PMC charges $x hourly, their markup is built into that hourly rate as they are NOT paying their workers that hourly rate.2) Many PMC's send you ONLY their invoice, or from their wholly owned maintenance company, not the underlying invoices from Home Depot and contractors.

I currently own my home in the Lithonia, GA area.

We were able to buy home in AZ and living in a rental in Calif.

The home needed a lot of work including roofing, windows, siding , kitchen, baths, and mechanicals.

I am currently self employed as a GC with my own company: Carolina Premier Homes.

If you haven't checked the market for homes with "inlaw suites" or whatever your market equivalent is that can be a way to get it done as well.
