I specifically want to call out one of their Senior Accounts Associate, Charlotte Cunningham, who helped me through the process on my first purchase as I needed to buy a sizable amount of furniture quickly and she was able to help me make moves quickly...and didn't make me feel bad whatsoever when I pulled back a few items at the last minute I was able to find them cheaper elsewhere.

if you're in St Pete frequently you'll need to turn some of those vacation trips into work trips - networking, building a team, and trying to find a distressed property.but the trick is then going to be moving quickly if either 1) a distressed property hits the MLS (unusual, but not unheard of) or 2) a distressed property comes to you another way (from your network, from a wholesaler.)how you will move quickly enough to lock it down and buy it, if you're in RI? 

My quick opinion is yes, there's money to be made as an investor, but it's not for the faint of heart (or stomach)!

It’s mobile home parks and parking lots so it’s not a quick flipping syndication or anything like that.  

Drop a post on this thread if you're interested in a quick call to share learnings.

We took the reverse action and started lowering asking rents until they moved.I suspect the reason that one property of yours turned quickly is because your asking rent was very favorable vs. local competition. 

Here’s a quick rundown of what you might consider:1.Employer HSA vs.

, reducing your housing costs.Potentially higher cash flow.Cons:More intensive management (two tenants, two leases).Can be harder to finance than single-family homes.May not appreciate as quickly in some markets.Here's where I need YOUR input!

My ultimate focus is not how can I get you rich quickly but rather, wealthy over time.  

I would encourage you to sit down with a couple of real estate salespersons and choose one based upon experience as well as knowledge of the area.
