The South Florida will eventually be a retirement home and I got real lucky there so far.  

I am not able to take equity out of my condo because it is currently on the blacklist due to HOA fixing the roofing and a Fannie Mae rule stating, if more then 50% of the condos in that community are owned by investors, I may not be able to refi.

Quote from @Brad Roche: The other thing that is great for the FHA 203K loan (not sure about the Homestyle loan) is that you can kick the payments out to 6 months of ownership (so close today and make your first payment July 12th 2025) if you are fixing up the home.

“This needs a new roof, the plumbing is outdated, and look at these cracks in the foundation!”

Plus you'll most likely make more money in home value growth compared to a multi family. 

I hopped on the roof with the garden hose to defend the property (even though initially it was contained) when suddenly an ember spread to a palm tree (that had been neglected to be trimmed for years) that instantaneously atomized/vaporized into hundreds of embers and spotted fires on several homes.

My real estate agent thinks I'll only get 1.1 million for my home but due to a few factors I think it should be more. 1.

We’d love to keep our investment properties closer to home. 

As home values rise, so does your net worth.

The first house that I bought was 17 years old, 3 br, 1.5 bath, brick ranch house with hardwood floors, Andersen windows, ceramic tile baths, gas heat and a brand new roof.
