Buying in a flood zone, especially A, in Florida, where it recently flooded would be a terrible purchase to me unless they are giving it away.

The initial thought is you are probably charging too much if no one is interested, or your photos or description are bad.Four beds and only one bath probably reduces demand as well, that’s potentially a lot of people sharing one toilet.And it is winter - I’m in Buffalo, I hate listing rentals this time of year.

Our DSCR product is very STR friendly and heavily lean on AirDNA data vs appraisal.  

House hacking seems like the best strategy for me.My goal is to purchase a single-family home in Maryland, D.C, (from lurking I've heard D.C was terrible for investing) or Virginia with multiple rooms where I'm making monthly payments similar to what I pay in rent and other charges ($2000-$2500).

We bought a large 3 bed 2 bath with an in-law suit.

I figured I would use HM for the purchase and DADU build.

The current tenant was already in place when I purchased the building, and their lease is set to expire in a few months.

My father and I have formed an LLC with another friend to start buying some rentals.
