I would love to help get the information for you, I don't mind getting that for you and I have someone that can help with getting you the capital needed as well.

Think of yourself of an asset manager, not a maintenance provider or lease-up specialist (but do those well too).3.

Well done!

However, I do have a connection who can help manage your Citrus Spring property as well. 

I also suggest you post your listing to "Short Term Rental Listing Advice" on Facebook and let them give you more feedback as well.  

I would look into assets that are non-correlated to the stock market or real estate, as well as tax advantaged assets to help shelter your income. 

Those couple hours of research will save you hundreds of hours of time down the line, so it's well worth the effort.

So I said, "well, if that isn't the path, what is the better approach?"

To add value to the property, we undertook extensive renovations including the removal of over 40 yards of trash, installation of a new septic system and wall-hung boiler, and a new well pump.

We have our primary In a trust but thinking if it's a good idea to buy the rental in a trust as well.
