We are planning on purchasing an STR (probably condo) in the Treasure Island area of St Pete.  

Typically, we are shooting for top of foundation to be 24 inches higher than the road and at least 36 inches above the bottom of the drainage.

We currently still have the AK condo rented out and have bought a house in Phoenix that we are currently are fixing up. 

We actually CAN'T explain what we are seeing if we are operating on the "purely rational actor" hypothesis (as you implicitly observe), we MUST include highly irrational and emotional individuals to explain what we are seeing.- Investor uncertainty.

Detroit/Flint are gives great return in good neighbourhoods if one has the right team on the ground, More then willing to share why we are investing there and how we do it safely

Eliminate the red tape of going through a custodian for all transactions/investments3.

Quote from @Rene Dittrich: We are selling 2 lots of land and would be open to do seller financing for one of them.

We are a not for profit member community that has tons of networking events, educational seminars and vendors to help you in any journey you find yourself attracted to. 

We are so lost as to what to do with the money.

Good concept but so much red tape it does keep us little guys out unless the qualified developers are willing to bring us into their deals.
