I'm looking to connect with people actively doing sober living to collaborate and grow as well as people looking to get in the game.

Hi Kmsuea, it all depends on your commitment to actively looking for and purchasing a property. 

If your local market is very active and homes are selling fast, you may be able to get by with doing less.Your Home’s Condition: If your home is vacant or has a unique layout, using a professional stager who can bring in the right furniture and accessories may help buyers truly visualize its full potential.Your Budget: Talk to your agent to get an idea of staging costs in your area, as it can be the difference between your house selling and sitting.

That being said, the only thing that being a QREP does is allow you to take losses against active income.  

I’ve noticed that there hasn’t been much recent discussion or activity specific to the Gainesville, FL market, so I wanted to start a conversation!

Are your real estate investments active or passive?

I'd be able to put 20% down on each and have money left over for some repairs/updates.It seems like I'd initially take on more stress, less initial return but the long term scalability seems great.  

I am active duty and currently stationed in Jacksonville NC.

Your goals will define the route you take on this but building a list for buyers/investors is a time-intensive activity and the list is a living and breathing document.

In fact, most of the pro-Tardus posts in this thread are from folks who had very little previous activity on BP.
