I've been thinking a lot about Florida and I believe it's a great state for future potential investments such as purchasing and renting out (utilizing the BRRRR Method Of Course).

The primary goal is appreciation adding value building equity and therefore net worth.I’ve been at this “game” 46 years  and there is no magic bullet.It takes time, discipline and consistent effort.But it can be done in 10 years.Of course this means living below one’s means - ie spend less than they make - to develop and build cash and capital that can be invested and then watch ot grow over time.Hope this helps.Arn

And $5,000 poorer.Over the course of our relationship, we barely used 10 hours of their time, including the onboarding, the meetings and email communication.

No, of course not.

You may have to evict which is generally the course it goes but do something/everything (legally available) to cure this quickly. 

They all had their own lawyers of course and it was a mess that took 3 years but eventually the buyer (the developer) did prevail.

Of course, nobody forces you to tell a potential partner to tell the truth about what you're going to do with the proceeds of the sale.

Twice now over the course of a year I had it happen to me.

When I shared the success story that's all that was - maintenance of course you have to factor in but on the raw deal over 4 figures in net cash flow is very good (at least to me). 

@Brian Shurtleff, of course, is way off base - not even close.
