There are opportunities out there but some strategies are risky. 1 - Airbnb (STR) comes to mind - very competitive, very saturated and becoming highly regulated.2 - Most STRs are transitioning to MTR so that market will be saturated soon if it isn't already.3 - Insurance crisis in florida is getting bad so those costs will eat up cashflow and short term appreciation.

I want to try and offset as much cost as possible without compromising quality so I’m looking for a GC mentor who could help me eat, breathe, sleep and wake GC lol.

We eat the first one, thy get a picture of all the glory the plumber pulled out and the second time they get billed.

Condo's usually have high HOA dues which will eat into your cash flow.

But from a moral & ethical perspective, you may want to decide at some point to just eat it and accept write it off as cost of doing business.

As an investor myself, I'd say property taxes can eat into cash flow in certain areas and some neighborhoods are gentrifying fast which means you really need to know your submarkets.

@Jason Wray Thank you very much for this response ..I’ve never sold one of my rentals before feels like I’m cutting off a leg and paying close to 100k for cap gains is really starting to eat at me 😵‍💫Any chance you would be so kind as to send me a link to something in the ballpark of what you’re suggesting this way I can get an idea of area and what this type of property could look like!

A friend of mine, Ryan, who invests heavily in Baltimore, realized his interest costs were eating into his cash flow.

It costs $10 to register to attend the events, but your attendance comes with an all you can eat buffet at The Asian Star Buffet.

So you just need to look at that additional $2000 - $3000 of interest each year as really being 1000 - $2000 of total new expense to your after the tax deduction.3.
