I'm looking to buy a house in the St Pete market & have read zoning regulations, articles about STR (anything less than 30 days) and have discussed with my realtor.  

With online access to almost every jurisdictions property recordings, lenders today use software that automatically searches property transfers for transfers involving their loans.  

@Cristal Ochoa @Leiah DotlichI will preface this with the fact that I have a legal background, specifically with estate planning and asset protection.

Remember, you don’t have $965 of cash to invest, you have equity, which will cost you money to access.

Is this a concern for other users?

What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

Uses to see this advertised.

Quote from @Fernando Martin-Gullans: Hey y’all, I’m a retail investor with 2 SFH rentals worth a combined ~$650k looking to utilize some of my stored equity to buy more out-of-state properties, but I’m not quite sure how best to proceed given that my interest rates are incredibly low (leaning me away from refinancing) and neither property is owner-occupied (which I believe prevents me from using a HELOC).

The reality is this will not happen.

im looking to get into a house hack in either there or venice, or even palmetto, still just looking but would like to be educated when i do decide to make the move, any tips are appreciated, also if you need any help let me know!
