I've been interested in real estate for as long as I can remember.

What’s your long-term plan for the cash?

I have found there to be a real shortage of long-term rentals in Ludlow and the surrounding area.  

Hi Angelica,Just adding my own 2 cents worth here from a deal I did not too long ago:I bought a prop off Auction.com about 2 years ago.

Flipping, renting, or sitting tight for long-term appreciation-there is potential for anyone willing to do the work.

It really doesn't matter as long as the lender is licensed in the state the property is in.

If it takes you two months two find a tenant willing to pay $1,700, then you'll still basically break even in the long run - the net to you is the same. 

It’s becoming clear to me that relationships play a huge role, not just in getting started but in long-term success as well.

For investors, the current market presents a mixed bag: while short-term rental income may be lower, Miami remains a strong market for long-term growth as affordability attracts more tenants.What’s your take on Miami’s rental market?

If you have a high 7 rate then it might be beneficial in the long run to pay it down if you don't want to put it in a 4% savings account or CD.
