Our current focus is for a family lakehouse / lifestyle play here in TN but would like to work my way into commercial properties, short-term rental facilities, business acquisitions to name a few.

"Sounds good to me"I know there's a little bit of playing around when it comes to not being able to pull out the whole amount depending on the agreement between you and the seller.

Here are some trends that could play out, or further develop in 2025.Leasing & Tenant Experience AI-Powered Leasing: Chatbots and AI tools will streamline leasing processes, from answering tenant inquiries to scheduling tours.Virtual Tours & Digital Leasing: These will become even more standard, making it easier for tenants to rent remotely.TechnologySmart Property Management: IoT devices (smart locks, thermostats, etc.) will become more common, improving efficiency and tenant satisfaction.Property Management Software: Platforms will integrate more AI for predictive maintenance, rent collection, and financial reporting.SustainabilityGreen building practices and energy-efficient upgrades will be a major focus, driven by tenant demand and potential incentives.AI & AutomationAI will play a bigger role in tenant screening, rent pricing optimization, and even predicting market trends.Automation will handle repetitive tasks like maintenance requests and lease renewals, freeing up PMs for higher-level activities.I'm sure there are plenty more shifting trends that I haven't mentioned and that are sure to evolve over the next year. 

Knowing the laws ahead of time and the process is very important but just know that lateness's are part of the game we play.

So, an investor could easily cashflow right away.Those days are over.Landlording is a long-term play.

You can play with it and build up a 3d walkthrough.

I felt that the various service providers gave me preferred service having been introduced through RTR, and I had great experiences with everyone they recommended.Most importantly, I felt that I could trust my Matthew Seyoum, my Investment Strategist, to represent my best interests without any conflict of interest, and to provide sound advice after understanding my goals and needs.Time will tell how the investment itself plays out, but so far I’m happy with RTR’s service and look forward continuing the relationship.P.S.

And right now the bigger cabins are not a good cash flow play but might be a great equity play when you look back in two to three years.  

Bottom line—Tampa or Lakeland if cash flow matters, Miami if you’re playing the long game, and Orlando’s somewhere in between.

@Marko BukvaI'm not entirely clear on the plan and ownership, but there are potentially several different types of tax at play for a transaction like you're discussing - gift taxes, estate tax, income tax, property tax, documentary transfer tax, etc.
