Lori and I went to Miami and we got to fly with one of my fellow cirrus owners.. he was in RE there as well.. at the time Miami had 11 YEARS of inventory :) Mainly condos of course but still 11 YEARS I was in shock. 

Ty so much for such a thoughtful and knowledgeable answer. we are pretty close on the purchase deal terms and will start marketing our group of 10+1 duplexes just as soon as we have a firm deal.

we are refinancing 3 properties and Did some research.long term after 6 month of owing the property  cash-out condos only upto 75% loan to valueSF properties 80% loan to valueRental market is strong for the next 3 years so don't worry to get the income...Do it BRR is the game changer

Idea is I could “trade-up” houses, get some trapped equity out of condo, and eventually keep this in my portfolio long-term, for a similar PITI.

My name is Maria and my husband and I are looking to invest in a condo rental property on the west coast of Florida.

Nice, I would almost always recommend either SFH and renting out rooms or finding a duplex that you can house hack using FHA 3-5% down.

The duplex units are each two-bedroom, 1.5 baths with a one-car garage and just under 1,000 sq feet of finished space.

Plus, its worth noting that no Retail Priced property will be at a number where you're going to get the benefits of investing (cash flow and equity)What is working now is looking for single family with accessory units or mother-in-law suites, or duplexes.

I currently have 5 properties; 7 units. (1 office building, 2 duplexes, and 2 single family homes) I am currently pulling a line of credit out of my office building and will be using that to purchase a 6th property.

Wtf.It's a duplex that I have a primary Va loan on in my personal name.
