Quote from @Devin James: Quote from @Justin Stamper: land entitlement is a great move in florida. just gotta have deep pockets to play!

Read Gary Keller's The Millionaire Real Estate Investor for a deep dive on expenses. 

., without having to go to the state where it's located and asking around, i say this because there has to be a good way to estimate these things before going deep into the dealAny insights on this guys?

I will be managing the property and have done a deep dive in all things real estate - screening, leases, Oregon tenant laws, etc.

Build an SMB on top of your real estate (the reverse of #2)Short-term rentals and high owner-participation real estate businesses can have great returns.Obviously not for you if you just want passive RE.We are in the deep end here, where each case should be judged on its own facts and merits by your CPA.You should hire a professional to review your particular situation before you make an investment.

Hi Ricardo,I wonder if you could do a "deep dive" in one of your deals.

I also find that depending on the tenant, my one Airbnb property has less wear and tear because it's constantly cleaned and maintained versus my other rentals where the families living there settle in and accumulate stuff - which makes it hard to deep clean regularly (to my liking) as well as just the constant daily wear and tear from kids etc. 

I've been doing a deep dive looking at cash on cash return for various down payments and expenses on properties with a mortgage.

and i speak from experience on this end I bought over 250 C Ds coming out of the GFC in the mid west and deep south.. it was as you describe 2 steps forward one backward.. after two years and coming to same place you are today I sold out to my partners and let them take it.
