I highly recommend a well-qualified REALTOR who works with investors and knows how to help you best.7.

If you want to defer taxes, a 1031 exchange allows reinvestment into another investment property, but the replacement property must be held for investment purposes.

@Ivan Castanon I am in the Tampa area as well!!!  

We have owned rentals in the past as well. 

They want someone who is going to treat their employees and their customers well.

Simplify the structure as much as possible, have clear roles and responsibilities that are not overlapping (meaning only one person is allowed to make certain decisions) and a clearly defined exit plan.

They have to allow them in to inspect to make sure things are copacetic.

Well done. 

Looking for ways to expand my network as well as possible job opportunities. 

Use services that can validate the authenticity of documents and employment history.Require Detailed Applications: Ensure that the rental application captures comprehensive information, making it harder for fraudulent applicants to provide fake details.Conduct In-Person Interviews: Meeting applicants in person can provide additional insights into the authenticity of their application and allows you to ask follow-up questions based on the details they've provided.Utilize Professional Screening Services: Professional tenant screening services are invaluable for conducting background checks, credit checks, and criminal history checks.
