For us, we have insurance on it and found it easier to keep in the trust vs. llc and have to deal with state filings etc. 

That covers the down payment for the purchase, the rehab, and the $18,000 for reserves for the account, and $5,000 for me for each property for the time and work involved.

I have filed for eviction on one tenant that I have placed in my career, and I was able to negotiate him out long before the court date. 99% of the time, eviction should not be a driver for whether you invest. 

Back then, the market was more stable, interest rates were below 4.5%, and distressed properties sold at significant discounts.Today, distressed properties often sell at a premium, and cash-out refinance rates are above 8%.The best BRRRR deal I can find today involves buying a property with cash, investing in the rehab with cash, pulling out 75% of the ARV and breaking even on rent and mortgage.

Have filed it everywhere, currently my local sheriff is working the case. 

To have a successful STR I HIGHLY recommend listening to this episode of a podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/on-the-market/id161508...Once you listen to this, and any highly involved STR operator will agree, you will find a lot of the fundamentals are lacking in Kissimmee or you have to have deep pockets to hit those.I won't spoil the episode, but if you listen to it (and anyone out there that does) feel free to DM me afterward and I'd be happy to talk details tailored to your situation on if you're on the right path or maybe I can help.

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

This allows for proper retirement of assets.If a property has already been sold it may still be a good candidate for cost segregation as long as you sold the building and have not filed the tax return.

Regardless of the asset class, the common thread is clarity, consistency, and respect.At Robin Hood Properties, we’ve learned that balancing profit with a deep commitment to customer satisfaction creates sustainable success for everyone involved.
