People who live in an area their whole lives (most people), have a certain set idea in their head about the character of different towns and different neighborhoods.

Looks like we are heading toward to the simular situation as you had.

The first misconception is that you can declare a property headed onto the market only S8 eligible, refusing to consider traditional applicants.

"Head right on back to the back of the room and my associates will get you signed up today!"   

@Ana Escudero Property insurance renewals have been challenging the past few years, but there’s some stability with carriers heading into 2025.

Just off the top of my head, I did one in WPB.

You have to buy right, know where the market is headed, know ALL of your expenses and know what your various "outs" are before you commit to a property or you will lose your shirt.  

I guess I can't wrap my head around the fact that anyone can make an argument as to how the doors and windows being left open was not the root cause of this issue.

Thanks for the heads up, I’ll call the mortgage companies.  

@Anthony MillerYour property management experience is a major advantage as you start investing, giving you a head start with tenant screening, lease agreements, and maintenance coordination.
