My family actually have some properties in FL, and I have also researched this area quite a bit and I saw it might fit my strategies. 

***EVEN IF YOU CASHFLOW IN REAL LIFE***Ready for the boatload of cherries on top?

I partner with a rockstar contractor and a top level investor friendly agent and if we buy right and nail our numbers, there is plenty to split at the end.  

Any recommendations on reliable and top notch cleaners in Raleigh?

Though I have purchased some with a mix where 330+ days a year, people parked in the driveway and the street except when there were snow bans, but there was enough room to fit everyone in the driveway/parking lot, and that was a hassle to deal with some days. 

Hey Max, Nice to meet you here.. do you have any top priorities when searching for a property to drive by?

On top your due process, my advise is to trust your gut when vetting tenants.

I'm planning on buying a small multifamily first and foremost so I have a place to live and then will either buy a single family or another multi family depending on what I can find/fits my criteria at the time.

There’s a small annual fee for registration, so make sure you stay on top of this to avoid penalties.2.
