I'm looking to buy a house in the St Pete market & have read zoning regulations, articles about STR (anything less than 30 days) and have discussed with my realtor.  

What’s a good price to paint a three bedroom, 1300 sq ft house?  

Sure, all channels can work, even seller financing or foreclosures, but in my experience, a well-connected agent can uncover hidden gems that often outperform the trickier avenues.Since the post is still fresh, I’m curious.. do you foresee other potential add ons that might elevate the returns even further, like corporate housing partnerships or short-term seasonal leases?

Used houses in the area sell anywhere from $75-125 a square foot.These are long term rentals that I do not plan to sell.I am reading the Rental Property Investing book and implementing the method that focuses on cash flow and that strategy states you need to have $300 cash flow per month, per property.

. :)Writing a book on "How to entice your evicted tenant to leave for a weekend while you clean out the house and change the locks" is not teaching real estate.

You can house hack the other rooms.

Away from the coast, no hurricanes, fires, floods - we don't even have snowstorms anymore.People can deny climate change all they want or blame it on sun cycles, and frankly, it does not even matter, the reality is that insurance cost will force the issue.You can try to rebuild and you can put houses on stilts in flood areas, or fortify them against high winds and fires, but that makes it expensive.

If my stories scare them (and they often do), they should NOT be investing in Detroit.But I'm equally tired of the narrative that these sorts of houses don't work as cash flowing investments.

Based on this article (https://www.thebaltimorebanner.com/community/housing/baltimo...) it looks like that out of 41,000 tax lien sales, 1,750 were foreclosed on.

My clients who invest in Section 8 housing do so in 'not quite' transitioned communities but that have low crime rates.
