I have a 100k nest egg that I want to use to invest or buy a home and the price of real estate in LA is astronomically high, even if I want to house hack.

Being inland FL instead of near the coast, insurance isn't astronomical, property taxes aren't too bad, and tenants can commute easily throughout the Orlando area.  

Unless, the numbers on this deal are just astronomically high, like a 40% CoC return or something similiar, I would much rather buy an 80 unit apartment complex than try to acquire, manage, and maintain 88 houses spread out whatever distance.

The unemployment numbers are astronomical and this is why the government are trying to protect these people who are temporarily out of work due to Government policy.

Contractor quotes are almost always astronomically higher the first time you use them and come down with experience.

There can be astronomical attorney fee's for doing all kinds of things throughout the process (i.e condo docs).

Not interested in paying the astronomical fees that HML charge, as I don't need a rehab loan..I am not well versed with how this type of bridge loan market works, so making sure I am not being taken for a ride. 

In the short run, they had to dig deep to come up with ridiculous shortfalls in rental income to cover expenses, despite astronomically high rents.

My previous concerns with NY real estate are largely well known already- high bid up sale prices, low CoC return, highly favorable tenant laws, etc.Now on top of the rent moratoriums from COVID, landlords also have to deal with new statewide tenant protection laws enacted toward the tail end of 2019 that provide an astronomical amount of tenant protections. https://www.rebny.com/content/rebny/en/newsroom/in-the-news/2019/Housing_Stability_Tenant_Protection_Act_2019.html/also not looking good for "mom and pop" investors: https://www.amny.com/news/rent-laws-new-york-1-32225521/Bottom line is, I'm sure there are NY residential landlords in here. 

@Jonathan AguayoI did a 15 year mortgage on my first rental because of the astronomical repayment difference and then refinanced it to a 30 year within a couple years once I saw the even greater opportunity cost.
