I imagine it's similar to St Louis but I'd be willing to bet it has more going for it and better appreciation.Happy to share some resources, learnings, and even history/performance of my rentals I've had for 5+ years.

Our beaches will always draw plenty of visitors in my opinion and are a safer bet because of limited land and fewer properties available to convert to STR. 

For example, seller may have 4.5% debt and so current NOI is worth more to seller than a new buyer who has to pay 6.5% debt.Seller finance is a great tool too.My only caution is to NOT overpay for a property in exchange for seller finance at an attractive rate.Here is a hypothetical say market cap is 7.0%.New conventional debt is 6.5%.But seller will carry at 5%.With seller finance at 5%: What price does one pay?

Do you work with any specialty tax firms to help us small business owners get access to R&D tax credits, cost segregation, 1031 exchanges, and other specialty tax credits?

I have lost $ 200,00 on the 3rd deal because they pulled the plug on that deal at the last minute without ever inform the investor to pivot to another deal. 1031 exchange rules are very strict so I had to pay the capital gains tax.

Sell the current house (current mortgage at 3%) and use the gain for down payment and 1031 exchange for the new home.

While yes the shares are private, it also protects them from larger funds shorting the company if it were public to drive the price down (which is why many list on alternative exchanges that do not allow for shorting). 

I would hedge your bet.

I'm betting there wasn't any medical issue at all - they thought they'd go somewhere cheaper, and now they find out there's nothing cheaper.
