It is extremely difficult to make a $$ provision for your time and expenses incurred when working on your property.

If an applicant is difficult during the application process or has a lot of questions, they are likely to be just as challenging as a tenant.Of course, there are always exceptions, but I’m speaking from 17 years of property management experience.I hope you get this sorted out soon!

My experience has been this is going to be a difficult pursuit - most horse property is located in rural (low density) areas, so you would likely have to rezone the property which would come with opposition from neighbors and possibly unsupported by the municipal general plan.We have found several niches with smaller high density developments where we've found quite a bit of success. 

How difficult is it to find a builder for upgrades lately with the boom in Tampa?

These particular students were so mad they broke their contract with Multifamily Mindset just to not be associated with Ryan and Tyler anymore.When you ask their coaches and team members how many deals they have done and how many doors they are in it is very difficult to get them to actually tell you.

The sum of my gripes are over how difficult some of these cities make it to invest in. 

Definitely true, although I guess I could note there is one other good thing about blue cities and that is that they make it very difficult to build and thereby prices for existing buildings tend to rise as do rents (which ironically makes them less affordable and want to pass more arduous anti-landlord laws).  

I have been going to meet ups and trying to network with other investors/operators but i find it difficult to keep the relationships fresh so to speak. what are some techniques you think i can use to let the people i meet know that i really would like to keep in touch with them and continue the interactions?

@Edna Ndangam we're helping many Candians buy cashflowing rentals here.Fix & flips are another level more difficult to do, unless you just want to be a private lender.What Property/Tenant Class are you looking for?

Your vision for self-employment and independence is valuable and worth fighting for, even when the path is difficult.
