I have been very hesitant to pull the trigger anywhere outside of LA.

Whatever it is you choose to do, you should do it the same way every time.I've seen landlords use credit scores alone as a deciding factor, saying 700+ is instant approval and below that could trigger a call for more applications.

I've learned that doing what you doing right now (posting on the forums) or just reading through the forums is extremely helpful.

Top question you need to get a feel for is what would you do with the capital if you sold (or if you did a cash-out refinance) - if you have a good investment idea / usage that exceeds owning the current rental - you should likely pull the trigger, if you don't have a good usage for that capital then probably sit tight

Converting from investment to primary does not trigger the tax. 

Extremely simple to use and met my needs for saving and searching clients and property information.

Their program seems very good overall as far as the essence of them covering coaching and rehab and all costs, but i was quickly turned off by the sales rep named Scott,i spoke to who was extremely arrogant and impatient kept saying i'm geting dozens of calls each day and dont have the time to handle everyone, and needs to know up front do you have a couple thousand set aside for this business, i said i'm investing about that in the business now what do you offer that would warrant that< and he repeated the same and i said, well like i'm on the call now with you 2 min and 14 seconds care to tell me what all this is about and what the financial requirement is???

My wifes house is nearly payed off and we are thinking of buying a new one and doing a live and flip while we rent out our current house... and meanwhile I am really trying to get all the info and contacts so I can pull the trigger on a deal once I find a good one and have the tools to take it down succesfully. 

I was wondering if there are any seasoned multifamily investors in Florida who have an in-depth understanding of the market.If you're someone with significant experience in Florida multifamily investing, I would be extremely grateful if you could spare some time to answer a few questions.

STR's are a great investment in this area, occupancy rates are extremely high in the summer, and very high during the spring and fall.
