He is the kind of personality Floridians roll our eyes at.

@Namal Burman, your post caught my eye because I had a former client-now a good friend-who found herself in a similar situation.

When we looked at the loans that remained which they were selling (we run a note fund) many were worthless as they were sold at tax sale or had taxes owed greater than property values.Many of the assets they acquired were in very bad and poverty stricken areas (which they have another fund called skid row…) so tells you types of assets they invest in.This sucks for someone like me because this puts a huge black eye on the rest of us

There is no fooling the eye when the work is simply not done.Rommel had began to bark at them and was getting territorial, although I should mention that Romy is only about six months old at this point, literally he is a puppy.

I've always managed my own properties but am beginning to open my eyes to the fact it may be better to have it professionally managed and focus on my investments more.    

If I could rewind 7 years, I would’ve personally scooped up another property near downtown...prices were more forgiving back then.All that said, I’m curious..if you were getting back in the game today, would a condo with strong amenities but an unpredictable HOA top your list, or are you eyeing single-families for that full control?

And particularly in large multifamily, there are systemic risks that do not make the risk worth it for most deals, in my eyes. 

I do have a long-term rental in my portfolio, but it is in the town where my husband was born - so we knew the tenants beforehand and keep a close eye on the situation.

Because we were clear eyed going in it has worked out ok. 

It really highlights the value of having strong partnerships, effective marketing, and a sharp eye for profitable properties.One takeaway here is the importance of leveraging connections and networks to identify similar quick-turnaround opportunities.
