I’m a residential superintendent in NYC which requires me to live on-site so, from my understating I don’t think I will qualify for a FHA loan on a multi-family because that requires me to live in one unit for a year.

Also @Tim Phillips something to be aware of in FL, all condos older than 30 years and taller than 3 stories are required to have a "Structural Integrity Reserve Study" performed before the end of this year.

Also, buy the properties that you would want to own the most 10 years from now...not the best year 1 cash flow performer.

This is especially important for those looking to scale their short-term rental portfolio.Property Appreciation: As short-term rentals continue to perform well, properties in popular neighborhoods are seeing strong appreciation.

They generally do not do this because either they are not aware of the changes or the loan is seasoned and performing so they are deliberately turning a blind eye.

A lot of how a property manager performs will be how nice your property is, how realistic your rent amount is and the area the property is located. 

Are you using to sites like Listsource and Propstream to source leads?

You can pursue a judgement against the property owner for non performance under the loan agreement terms which would come up on a title report when they go to sell or refinance the property since a judgment search would be completed against the seller but that takes time and money.

I found all sorts of things to reference for an eviction including excessive damage to the property, signs of an animal, lack of yard maintenance, oil spill on driveway, smoke detectors removed, the unit smelled of smoke, appliances that came with the unit moved off site ect... 

Are you using any management Site like gesty to sync the different platforms?
