Here are some things to consider before diving in:Rising Prices: The Florida market has seen significant price appreciation in recent years.

@Jimmy O'Connor that’s actually really surprising that Grays Ferry’s average is about the same, i honestly didn’t dive deep into the numbers and would of never guessed they’d be so close thanks for relaying that info. i actually had my eye on something in Grays Ferry but was a tad worried about an exit plan as i assumed it wouldn’t appreciate as much as Whitman or Pennsport but looks like i was dead wrong as you mentioned Feinbush has moved into Grays Ferry.

I have access to several of these programs but have not dived into them deeply.

I won't give my full bio here but I am happy to dive into details upon introduction.

in a vast interview process with many steps before allowing someone to move in. a new roomie is an everyone-decision, not a landlord-only decision; if you're expecting people to co-exist in a space together (for longer than just a few months), you have to make sure they all have some things in common, or at minimum have the right expectations in terms of cleanliness and routine habits.someone working the night shift and someone else having a 5am rise-time, or someone who works from home in a call-center job is not going to jive well for example. and someone who doesnt handle conflict well is not going to jive with someone who is brutally honest and up front about issues. happy to go into more deets on how we do things if it will help. this can certainly be lucrative in terms of cash flow, but there are huge mud puddles i have stepped in over the years which i have had to learn to navigate.

This means a deep dive into your Internal Rate of Return ((IRR). 

Tenant caulked the bathroom w/o any issues and did not hear from him for about 10 days.I get another call last night.

Hello Mike, It is nearly impossible to answer this question without taking a deep dive on the numbers of each but often times in expensive markets like Seattle the cost of construction is so high that it doesn't make sense to tear it down unless you can build something way bigger/nicer.

Definitely a smart move to consider some out-of-state options before diving into a first investment property. 

We also had the option of another type of policy that was even less expensive that would have required us to spend at least 1 night in the house and rent it at least 30 nights each year.
