I'm now finally here in person, and have started to go view places in person with the intent of purchasing. 

Augustine (mainly King St or surrounding blocks, if you're familiar with the area), or Jax Beach / Atlantic Beach area.

Hi everyone,I'm Mayank, a new home buyer from Bay Area.With this post, I have no intention of offending anyone - however I do seek genuine information.In my past 3+ months of experience of working with an agent, they are available to show us homes as we requested. 

We purchased it with the intention of living in the Ground floor + BSMT apartment and renting the 2nd floor apartment.

Mainly looking into flipping some houses and also small multifamily properties as long term rentals. 

If you took DIY possession, was it legally allowed because the property was abandoned, or was it illegally obtained and doesn't mean anything when it comes time to file a quiet title lawsuit.If legally abandoned, that means the owner is gone, has no intention of coming back and no intention of ever doing anything with the property.

Hi Justin - It sounds like your Airbnb is performing really well, especially considering your initial intent for the property.

@Rick Albert has answered the main points that you have to consider. 

I'll do this before my tenants move out however, my intention for this is so they can get the most of their money back.

I joined with the intent to surround myself with others in the field and build my confidence and understanding of the subject matter (:I live a disciplined lifestyle when managing my expenses and living below my means.
