Yet, in my humble opinion, not investing internationally is utterly financially irresponsible.

-I can't afford to take a loss for 3-5 years in hopes of reward at this stage in my investing career.

The 18% rate from the lender is the same as our preferred return.We consider this more a bridge loan as it gets us to the pre-sale stage, and we can use pre-sale funds to pay off this debt position, essentially refinancing.

In these early stages of learning and developing as an investor, I'm primarily focused on properties that may require the following: paint, flooring, bathroom/kitchen remodel, drywall, light fixtures, exterior landscaping, siding, or new HVAC.

At this stage I do not know if responsibility for necessary termite infestation treatment is determined purely by the articles of association and other incorporation documents of the HOA or are the HOA directors in direct breach of any Broward County, Florida State or Federal laws in not doing anything about the ( apparently widespread ) termite problem in the community ?

If it’s empty, consider staging it with a few key pieces of furniture.

Hi All, Had an idea (very beginning stages) and wanted to throw it in here and see what others think of it.

That’s a huge step, and it’s awesome that you’re looking to dive into both rental properties and flipping.One of the best things about being a member here is the ability to network with people at all different stages of their real estate careers.

He is an investor, investor focused agent that specializes in short term rental, can assist with the staging process and also has a property management company as well.

Our son is 23, through a trust we have staged him to get funds at 30 and 40.
