Others are exploring different real estate asset classes all together.Notice in that chart in the link above, today's trend isn't too different from how things looked basically until 2010.

House Hacking, STRs, Mid-Terms, and BRRRR are all solid strategies to explore.

If they don't have it and you make them aware you are not sure if one is active their alarm will likely go off.

I am writing to explore rental opportunities for a recently renovated property that has been 90% restored following fire damage.

We're an appreciation market, not as much of a cash flow market here, unless you're putting a large down payment or actively managing STR's.Buying out-of-state can get you more cash flow, but the tradeoff is less appreciation (usually), and cash flow can be eaten up by maintenance and expenses.

It's different market now and I am slowly getting back to explore to see if we can still cashflow in the new price.

One of my goals is to go through my past tax returns, and figure the ROI my rental properties with taking into account the tax savings (I typically calculate the ROI on net cashflow at the end of the year)I have a W2 so I generally aim to maximize my pre-tax accounts - 401k, HSA, IRA to a backdoor Roth IRA, 529My "losses" would be passed forward since I don't qualify as a RE professional nor have active RE losses.

Most who get tripped up are those buying the smaller multi-families that don't possess the correct use permit/historical rental license activity. 

I'm in Orlando and active in residential real estate as a Realtor® and also serve on the board of CFRI, the local chapter of the National REIA.

Negotiating a lower price to account for these issues could be an option, but if they’re not flexible, it may be best to explore other opportunities.Happy to connect if you’d like to discuss further!
