They pulled the trigger on getting a house because they found themselves constantly paying for costly hotels when visiting and having to pay both of our rent.

The questions are taking a small step, but you should be going to real estate meetups at least once a month to talk to other people who are a little ahead of you.

I was concerned about the quarters becoming over loaded in between dates that I was able to visit the facility.

However when you compare that number to the 19 million+ tourist that visit, the crime rate is actually low. 

Newer ones (2008+) are suffering from seasonality now but will pick it up in Q3-Q4: if you look at historical data, Miami Dade county has always had seasonality low volumes during summer time, due to hurricane season, holidays and less tourists visiting. 

Mind you this was a $930K loan, notified the lender 6 weeks ahead of time that we were going to rent the units, and had three $2,850+ leases executed by the time the sales covenant date hit.

Depends on the bank, some due a lower LTV and get you a HELOC with no site visit and others do a site visit with higher LTV.

Already having your own listings puts you ahead of the curve.

Get rid of this tenant via eviction or Cash-for-Keys and hire your own inspector when you visit the property to fully understand its condition and needed repairs!
