I use commercial, specifically NNN, as the end of the line where I do the long term holds...because of the cost/income consistency. 

Tampa won’t really cashflow much it seems after looking at a lot of deals out there, but I imagine appreciation will be significant and consistent there.

My credit is climbing consistently with debt being paid of that was used to renovate the last property. currently sitting at a 670ish.

The assessed value is then multiplied by the local tax rate to calculate the amount of property taxes owed.I’m sure you may be wondering why commercial properties tend to have higher tax rates.

We still like the old fashion long-term rentals for the consistency and reliability of income.

I'd think if you are looking at both, the prices on the 3 western states (sorry AK and Hawaii-leaving you out) are consistently higher.

Active Market High and/or consistent transaction volume.

Inventory remains low but you can find a deal if you stay consistent with your search and get aggressive when opportunities arise.All the best!

We do them all the time in the $75k-$95k all in range and they are consistently appraising for $90k-$120k.It's a great way to scale if you have the capital.

Since we didn’t have a pool and are not walking distance to the Broadwalk, we focused on interior design and that has helped, but we consistently lose out to Airbnbs with a pool, so we are working on maybe getting an above-ground pool and/or hot tub.
