I think he is a great guy and isn't his first rodeo with investor funds.We can do some legal checks if you want that type of search, lawsuits, prior names, etc.

In case you have not noticed, our national debt is already out of control, and there're legal limits on additional borrowing.The government has a third option: print more money.

@Drew Sygit my strategy for now is to spend the next 6 months or so learning everything I can about real estate markets, properties, underwriting, financing, landlords, property management, construction, legal, insurance, and anything else that comes across my radar, all the while trying to make connections and build relationships within each of these areas to build a network and gain the confidence to sell lenders and investors on the very best deals I can come up with.

I just won a bid and I'm refusing to pay them until they give me legal property description and of course it was Lot number 25 in there auction not the actual lot in Cherokee Village for example so I'll be making some calls tomorrow.If these guys are selling it…..you don’t want it.

I would not make this a legal matter, but you will have to decide if you want to commit to living with this landlord.

If you need financial help, ask under the "Finance, Tax, and Legal" forum.

We stayed away from anything breaks the rules....The STR we own technically in East Naples which is 100pct legal.

You may consider terminating the lease depending on how much time remains, your skills, the legal system, and other factors.Based on what you've said, I am concerned there's someone else occupying the home or something else is going on.

Indeed, the FAIR ordinance is anything but fair to non-corporate landlords, seemingly punished for investing in rental houses to generate income as an alternative to stocks and bonds.A handful of opportunists likely could learn to exploit these new rules, preying on otherwise law-abiding landlords to obtain legalized shake-down payments.

I am exploring "office hacking" but i don't know if there are any legal or zoning issues with something like that.
