Osceola county is uniquely set up for short-term rentals and there are literally hundreds of resorts, with more than 500 homes each, in many of these resorts.

I spent hours last night pouring over this forum and hadn’t  found anything that quite addressed my unique and frustrating situation. 

Real estate investing is a team sport.

Anyone can say they have a unique opportunity that just needs half a mill, quick.

Hard to find any comps nearby because this place is a little unique to the neighborhood:Main House: ~2100 sq. ft. 2 Bedroom/ 2 Bath SFH w/ in-ground pool & hot tub, built in late '60sSomewhat dated but easily updated cosmetically & with new appliancesNice covered patio w/ built in outdoor kitchenAdditional ~ 400 sq. ft. 

As both first in line and (usually) last in line, they are in a unique position to gain possession of this property.  

Call your CPA, everyone's situation is unique.

I have a unique situation.

the market rents in the area do not include storage, garages or washer n dryer hook ups, these are unique money making units, the average storage unit at a self storage place is around $125/mo I figure I could charge 100/mo per garage bay and 75/mo for the storage units, 3 very large storage units and 2 garage bays, I would keep a garage bay for myself. offering a discount to the current tenants seems like a smart idea.I was thinking later down the line, either refinancing for 2nd property, or trying to get the permits to turn the finished attic into a 4th apartment and turning the 2.5 story garage into a 5th apartment(townhouse style), then I'd have 5 doors on 1 property, seems appealing though I have not even bother researching this yet because I'm trying to take it one step at a time.

Building a porfolio large enough to work when you want, dropping your kids off at school, going on field trips,not missing a single christmas concert or sporting event, kids never seeing daycare, volunteering,coaching, being able to make donations to charities of my choice..
