Quote from @Stacey Wells: Hey everyone,I’ve been researching different funding options for real estate investments and business expansion.

So pretty good equity position within a year plus cash flowing well based on a $325k purchase price.

Hello everyone, we know this post is a few months old now, however we are interested in the Ocala, FL market as well, primarily looking at LTR SFHs in the Silver Spring Shores, Heath Brook, or Marion Oaks neighborhoods.

Question: your current model worked well.

We have owned rentals in the past as well. 

On top of that, I believe you'd be considered a "high earner" - there are limitations there as well.

What worked well, and what challenges did you face?

We've utilized the VA loan for our current home, and this strategy has worked well so far.

I highly recommend a well-qualified REALTOR who works with investors and knows how to help you best.7.

I bet that essentially no one is starting new construction projects, which bodes extremely well for owners 2-4 years from now.- Prices for insurance policies will never go back down, but it is not unreasonable to expect costs to rise at a more predictable pace from here.
