Hello BP Community,My husband and I had decided to move from NY to Miami/Fort Lauderdale Area in December 2018 for a fresh start.

@Dan Heuschele I think we are on the same page that even the rough parts of San Diego are mild compared to some of the larger cities, I just don't want people thinking Logan Heights is anything like some of those areas you mentioned.I feel pretty optimistic about the potential in the area, you should check out the San Diego City revitalization plan for Southeast San Diego if you want to see what might be in store for some of these areas. 

I used a specific, one page lease for the garage which specifies limitations on what can be stored there and the overall use (i.e., no storing hazardous materials, no running a business out of the garage etc.).

Just make sure you buy extra and store it because manufacturers discontinue colors and patters frequently to force people to replace the whole floor.

I am fresh to my career so I do not have a ton of money to put down.

Or if he is married, something his wife might like, i.e. a gift card to a nice department store or home store in the area.

Fresh paint is clean.

I own 4 stores and I’m building a 5th 

You can check out the store, https://www.biggerpockets.com/store, which has books endorsed by BP that cover a wide range of topics. 

@Brett Wagner don’t forget about the webinars and the book store on BiggerPockets.
