An appraiser won't take into account that the roof, water heater, hvac, garage door, flooring, etc are all new versus used per se.  

Welcome to MIA REI.As a Miami investor I can give you my take on the SE FL market.We are seeing a lot of growth down here especially with all the news surrounding all the tech companies trying to grab up space in the downtown financial districts (think Microsoft in Brickell). 

Stay out if the McKinley area for awhile (SE of 60th & pac hwy in Tacoma).

If you are already branded and/ or pushing a 'vanity number' and/ or branded URL, vs. simply targeting key words and phrases related to 'generic' SE searches.)

If you're looking for a rental in north broward I have one listed for sale in Deerfield Beach. 801 SE 1st Ct Deerfield Beach, Fl

Another hassle of doing an LLC is that you cant appear pro se in court (at least in California). 

@Kaylee PrattMy first purchase was a 3 bedroom 2 bath on the main highway going through SE AR for 160k on 2 acres.

They generally get rerented at the se price or just $100 more.HOWEVER, for the majority of my inherited tenants, it been averaging $3K.

I could call myself a genius for buying the house I did in 2019, it's gone up over 60% since I bought it, however, it's not my genius, it's the fact the market overall, and especially SE TN, exploded during 2020-2023.

I don't think that anyone has a problem with Joe's investment strategy, per se.
