I prefer no ice makers and when the last fridge with the broken icemaker (lease signed with it that way) dies they will get one without an ice maker. 

I MUCH MUCH prefer long terms.

I would prefer some green areas (but should be closer to beach) so that it still is attracted to STR. 

I’m here to learn, grow, and connect with like-minded individuals who can help guide me along the way.I’ve been fortunate to build great networks so far, but I know there’s so much more to discover in the beautiful world of real estate.

'Owning' land for foreign individuals is not possible.

For instance, landlords in northern Texas often purchase properties for their rentals at 76% to 80% of the ARV.Other modelsOther investors may prefer a different formula, such as calculating offers based on what they want to earn on the project.

For those of you that also do 7 day minimums, what is your preferred strategy? 

As for the 1031, while you as an individual LP cannot 1031, some syndicators will allow the syndication to 1031 from one controlled deal to another.  

If you’re looking to build REAL wealth, then leverage of one type or another is necessary.Debt is one type of leverageSyndicators leverage investors capital as equityStart up companies leverage Venture Capitalists investments in both equity and debt.The real estate investor has 3 distinct “cycles” with debt leverage1st stage is debt secured by real estate but also personally guaranteed and often cross collaterialized2nd stage is debt secured by real estate but liability not personally guaranteed and recourse limited to specific property.3rd stage is debt free If you own units in a syndicated real property investment and the investment is leverage by debt you may not think of it as YOUR debt because you’re a passive investor, but your investment is encumbered by debt the same as property you own individually IF you haven’t personally guaranteed the debt.  

-If these sorts of deals are doable (preferably in NC, but I'm open to other states as well), are there real estate lawyers specializing in this sort of thing?
