In Northeast Florida my experience has been that it is slower in January/February as far as showing traffic/potential tenants. 

The transaction time is so compressed that it strongly favors those who can quickly and accurately analyze a property and the work needed, as well as having a team in place.

As far as the rentals, we've rented everything out again with quality tenants.

Is so - what are the chances to get permits to build and what would you estimate the cost to actually get the land ready to build (water delineation, mitigation etc..)?

As far as good/bad neighborhoods I would connect with someone in the area who knows it better than I.

I am in FL looking to buy an investment property in Akron, the University area called my attention because of the need for housing for the students but in the neighborhoodscout crime website it tells me that area is so high in crime that makes me think twice about investing there.

I don't think I would advise anyone do something or not do something because it might be a "red flag" - yes the IRS has plenty of red flags, but the audit rate on most of these issues is so comically low, that as long as you have a legitimate position - take it, don't not do it just because it might slightly increase your chances of an audit. 

The Juice was simply not worth the squeeze.. same amount of equity in paid for assets for us is so much easier to handle and buying quality assets.. 

I have suggested twice that if this tenant is so unhappy with my style of management that perhaps moving out would be the best solution only to be told that I’ll have long since sold the building before they leave.

Maybe kinda high expectations though.My biggest pro is that the barrier to entry is so low for the studio condos that is the low risk worth the lower reward?
