Interesting feedback, @Ian Ippolito. 

I would ask for at a minimum of 50% of proceeds and I an still not sure I would do it.

I would caution you when underwriting St Pete deals (basically a peninsula by itself) and Tampa properties near the water, in the wake of Hurricane Ian I am noticing my clients getting drastically higher insurance quotes on their new LTR and commercial STR policies.

As such, I believe @Drew Reynolds, @Ian Ippolito and @Jeff Wallenius both identify the "hotspot" issues in terms of ensuring you comply with the entity structure rule. 

Hi Kyle - I an agent/investor in the Dalton, GA, area, and Cherry Log/Blue Ridge/Ellijay is a market I am active in as well.

@Ian Barnes Thanks for your comments on the Baltimore City market.

@Ian Saingarm - yes you're all good to go. 

Ian - Great job on getting start with analyzing for your goals.

@Andrea PowellRule #1 - never post on social media how much money you have (even if it's a hypothetical number).Rule #2 - like @Ian Walsh stated, pretend you don't have it and work backwards by learning what you need to learn first prior to spending/investing it.Rule #3 - decide whether you want to be active or passive investor and then concentrate on the niches within it. 

Hi @Ian S., let's talk!
