I wanted to use the camera footage as evidence in a civil case against the tenant.I was initially told that it would take 2 weeks to get the footage to me, then that blew out to several months, and now finally 6 months later they finally get back to me and tell me the footage doesn't exist, even though the initial report said cameras were activated.That footage would have shown that the tenant was making threats to damage my property (which she made good on).Do I have any recourse on the police for failing to provide the footage on a timely basis?

How difficult or easy has it been to get tenants secured in that area?

Then I had another one where the buyer brought as is under the impression that legalizing would be easy and found out it was not ever allowed and a portion of the structure had to be demolished because it was built horribly and a hazard as built.

Most investors are very easy to talk to and understand because they were at where you are.

I don't think rent to retirement can vet a deal any better than anyone else or you, they just have a bit of a system. but the new builds in Lehigh acres, Cape Coral, north port, etc are all garbage. septic systems, poor economics, low rent to purchase price ratios, you are banking on appreciation and buying at market. building direct is going to give you a competitive advantage on a 3 unit let's say worth 600,000 you are going to be 120k ahead than if you bought it through them. that's my analysis. if you are super lazy and too busy to make money and have millions to throw around then I'd recommend not thinking much about investing. but you can also invest in funds and be way omre passive than buying a new build from far away. but if you want to add real value then get involved and make it happen. getting wealthy isn't easy. you work hard for your money and there are build to rent developers like us that try to answer and add value to start buiding relationshipsl

It was easy to scale fast when a down payment was 15-30k on a property that cash flowed several thousand dollars per month.

The culture shock hit us immediately, and we struggled at first—it wasn’t easy, but we were committed.Unfortunately, that initial investment didn’t pan out.
