I did work for a commercial real estate investor prior to jumping into syndication, so that gave me a strong knowledge base to start with.

Through this journey, I’ve built strong relationships and developed valuable expertise in:Researching micromarkets and identifying comparables, potencial Accurately estimating construction or remodeling costs.Securing fast and reliable financing through partnerships with two top hard money lenders in Texas, offering competitive rates.I’m on this platform to connect with capital partners who are seeking an annual ROI of 12%-15%.

But I strongly urge anyone to always get Aldermanic support before proceeding because it makes life--and the entire project / process--a whole lot easier. :)IN SUM: Based on what you've shared, it sounds like you won't need to rezone if you just want to build a duplex.

Seeing your intro is a breath of fresh air.. what's your next step in building a strong investment network?

Rather than concentrate on the initial cash flow, concentrate your effort on markets that have indicators of strong rent growth.  

If you're working with an investment brokerage, I'd recommend tapping into Tampa and Central Florida markets too—areas like Riverview, Wesley Chapel, and Brandon have been strong for both flips and long-term holds with steady demand.

I am of the opinion that cash flow underwriting comes second, after first nailing the long term deal fundamentals, how strong is the equity upside and market generally speaking. 

They can just be too hard to lease.On the other hand, if the area is doing well economically and its occupancy is currently strong (I certainly want a vacant or near vacant property) I think it's worth considering at least.

With a strong foundation, you'll be ready to invest confidently when you return to the U.S.Good luck! 

If you're looking for software with strong rental accounting capabilities though, there are apps that have this functionality built into them (rather than paying extra through RentRedi to use the REI Hub.
