Now, we are no longer responsible! 

Dan, we are in the Chicago area industrial sector, albeit in the flex, small-bay arena. 

Happy to share my experience if you want to send me a PM.RyanHey Ryan, we are in the process of looking at buying a house for an STR in the beach Mountain area.

We plan to rent it out, as an STR, while we are not there.

Quote from @Laurens Van swol: We are exploring the possibility of purchasing an investment property in Florida.

For this reason, it would be prudent to not overleverage yourself in this type of environment in order to wait and see where rates do end up falling, as there is consensus in the market we are moving into a falling rate environment, the exact timing of when rates will be falling is unknown and different scenario analysis should be added to underwriting refinance periods to be sure the project is sustainable if inflation resurges and a refinance is delayed.

We are currently working with our lawyers to take next steps and get our money back along with damages due to wasted time and investments we missed out on along with other people who they have done this too.

Now we are in 2025 and although I still own the trucking company, it has been an inconsistent pit that has technically brought me personally no profit.

The bad financial situation was that we bought a residential painting franchise that we are finally out of.  

In our case, we are focused on Northern Virginia (specifically Alexandria, VA).
