That was fun.Because of this setback limiting my ability to leave my house, I sunk more time into my YouTube channel where I’m seeing exponential growth and am on pace to make over $6k this month from ad revenue alone.Life is good.

There’s demand for rentals in the area, and multi-family properties tend to hold value even in market shifts.New Construction: With SWFL growing fast, new construction is a big play, especially if you can tap into neighborhoods where demand is rising but inventory is still limited.

@V.G Jason It is true that a duplex limits your rental pool. 

Limited inventory typically drives up prices for both rent and equity, as high demand meets low supply.

We bought a home built in 1900, insurance water damage coverage is 10% of the dwelling limit. 

The more rehabs you do the better understanding you will have of the market for contacting work and materials.Doing a rehab every so often prevents you from being sharp with your budget.For those with limited exposure, ask others in the industry and always run your numbers based on being overbudget and overtime. 

There are a lot of ways to crash and burn, so increasing the odds of succeeding long term should be your highest priority. you can always sell your local assets once you're comfortable managing rentals and ready for a market that better-suits your criteria. btw, kudos for being self-aware of your limitations.

Quote from @Jonathan Greene: That's very limited information for someone to help you.

It’s not limited to rentals, but since your parents-in-law's home is a primary residence and not a rental, it wouldn’t qualify for a 1031 exchange right now.

Add the difficult exit and your investor pool is very limited.
