I sent my first builder deposit for a home in Lehigh acres Florida in Sept of 2022 and the land is still vacant.  

I have employer sponsored plans that match contributions as well as a solo 401k and I do a backdoor Roth. 

While short-term rentals in areas like Kissimmee, Florida, can pay for themselves and offer lifestyle benefits, the ROI typically doesn’t match what I see from my traditional portfolio of long-term rentals in North Texas.That said, short-term rentals can still be a great choice, especially if you're drawn to the area and the opportunity to combine personal use with investment income.

This gets you in the game with minimal upfront costs.Covering the Smaller Costs (Inspections, Appraisals, Earnest Money, etc.)Even when using other people’s money, you’ll need some cash for earnest money deposits, inspections, and carrying costs.

We wanted this client's project to stand out, but a bold and modern aesthetic just didn't match the house.

Then you can read a more in-depth book like The Book On Rental Property Investing by Brandon Turner or The Unofficial Guide to Real Estate Investing by Spencer Strauss.You need to get a firm grasp on two things: the ways to make money with real estate, and how to find deals that match your goals.P.S.

Whether your plan is to generate rental income for part of the year or to create unforgettable memories during your personal stays, Mexico provides an attractive combination of high returns and diverse options to perfectly match your lifestyle and investment goals.Hope this information helps anyone in this group who is considering expanding their investment portfolio into international markets.To our success!

However, we just started STR property management and it would be very helpful/look more professional to have the ability to esign contracts, autogenerate payout statements, direct deposit payouts, ect.  

We were not able to recover any yard damages due to other damages they had left that needed repair, which empted out their security deposit.

However, I have offered two thingsA)  Higher deposit -  this way the owner's fears are alleviated somewhatB)  Property management - offer the owner that you will essentially property manage the property for them.
