It took a posting from me fir Grocapitus to make adjustments??

Miami is still doing well, Fort Myers is adjusting and has lower real estate than 12 months ago, etc..)My simple thought, for what it is worth, is choose a place to live and not invest in:  choose the location you and your family WANT to live in ( because of the schools, taxes, weather, other family there, etc...) and then buy and do real estate there (and get whatever licenses you need once you start third party management).I wish you well!

Get a bank statement to cross-reference their paychecks as most employers now direct deposit.You'll also see if they have a savings history or are living paycheck-to-paycheck.If they are not paying rent right now and have no savings, how well do you think they'll be able to adjust their budget, so they can pay rent on time?

I'd love it if the emails could be taken into Baselane, and automatically update the invoices. 

I have financed a number of STR properties and they will usually be appraised as a pure real estate as vacant value and a cash flow adjusted commercial value, sometime separated as going concern and real property.  

To beat 5.25% mortgage rate....the corresponding, offsetting stock market return would be at least double that...To answer your question requires (1) knowing what risk adjusted return you will be able to earn in the future (2) knowing what interest rates will do in the future.
