Sometimes emails go to spam and simply some people just don't check their email religiously like the rest of us.

In Sept I'm still waiting for an official announcement and legal documents to be provided.My second investment with them is also on the verge of failing with the property heading for foreclosure.Best of luck, Cheryl

The goal starting off is a place that my family enjoys visiting and renting the rest of the time. 

Ocala is definitely growing and can get great deals in comparison to the rest of FL.

The investment is a little bit more upfront since you'll have to furnish the room and bathroom fully, but you may be able to command a higher rent each month since you're covering all utilities, WIFI, and providing all the furnishings.Either way, renting out the room is a great idea and I'm sure it will be helpful so you can rest a little bit easier while you save to move to Lakeview, eventually :)

I’ve included a photo for reference of the kitchen which is the main attraction of the Mass home.Now I am looking to pursue REI long-term and am looking for tips on how those more experienced in the field have operationalized and scaled the property selection process.Our thinking for this first official investment is to either acquire a duplex/triplex and add our touch or acquire a single family where an ADU can be added.

You don't need to know everything to get started; you need a foundation to build on, and the rest will come through experience and then refining your education.You can build a basic understanding of investing in 3-6 months.

A good DST would absorb the rest of your debt nicely.

For people that want to close and make it pretty/official/permitted/etc once they are owners, the question is "what is the cheapest way we can get this to pass an appraisal without the appraiser calling for a licensed/bonded/professional/whatever to fix things prior to closing?"

You can then tell the security office to disregard any alarms the rest of the night if needed.They run off of batteries and need to replace about every 3 years.
