Lastly, I do a weekly STR update you YouTube if you are interested where I talk about all new STR listings and sold listings.

I didn't want to list this under Scenario 1 as it's redundant and whether or not having more control over your down payment is a pro/con is pretty case-specific.3. ???

Seems like everyone wants to wholesale here - The competition is really high - I dont really wholesale unless it makes sense for everyone but my advice would be to try and hit the lists that arent already super flooded ( pre foreclosure, vacant, etc.) 

My question is, because my agent was involved in showing the home and made offers for us while it was listed (6 months ago) should I go through them or it is okay to pursue this as any other off market property without an agent?

I had 2 properties on my list of potential after final discussions yesterday I have spoke to the owners of each property as well as their agents.

If there was a house of interest listed it was get there same day and make a strong offer to even have a chance, this doesn't seem to be the case at this moment.

I can connect you guys, if you're interested in real estate shop-talk. 

Also, I was thinking about it and I think if you were going to make shared amenities (like fire pit) you probably would be very successful doing that strategy I mentioned for larger listings.For big dates I would have one listing that is both the primary and ADU that sleeps 12+, or whatever the number is, and then you can have the ADU and primary again as separate listings for the rest of time. 

There are cheaper one’s in D/F areas but I would be careful as those can create a laundry list of additional issues.

I have multiple listings across different parts of Florida and I don't even live in FL.
