We're probably not going to take the risk if we're busy agents to play that game. 

Sejin - Have you read your fair share of books as well as listen to podcasts?

This year will be the most I have paid for my taxes to be prepared, and the only year where I will be filing with an extension (and added stress).To be fair and objective with my feedback, the upfront consultation process went well.

I am playing a long game.

Seen that play a few times.. this whole sub to being taught to under capitalized or starter investors who don't know what they don't know and learn this on line is just so very dangerous.

There’s demand for rentals in the area, and multi-family properties tend to hold value even in market shifts.New Construction: With SWFL growing fast, new construction is a big play, especially if you can tap into neighborhoods where demand is rising but inventory is still limited.

You’ll be playing for appreciation and rent growth.
