Since you're looking to expand into Florida and other states, I'd recommend starting by narrowing down your focus:Market Research – Florida has great opportunities, but each state and city has different laws, taxes, and demand drivers.

We are starting to get near max occupancy on this location. 

I wouldn't recommend this as a starting strategy for anybody.Market Auction: There's probably a better term for this but anyone who owns a property can sell it via an auction.

I have been searching online for a real estate investors networking group in Vermont but it doesn't seem like there is much so I would like to start one.Even if it is just a couple people to start I think having a network of like-minded people is crucial to success. 

Should we start LLC? 

I think we will see more "adult" families living together...kids move back in or parents move in with kids.The traditional apartment model was based on 12month leases, but jobs are not always 12 months and people want flexible terms, so co-living often offers that.Seems like younger people between 20-30 and some other age groups don't want to get married and start that housing pathway our parents and grandparents took.   

Hi Bruce, i'll start by saying i'm a mortgage person, so please understand the context in which my response is coming from. you'd need to create CC&Rs/bylaws and establish an HOA in order to do this.

You begin depreciating $200k over 27.5 years, starting from 2023.You do a major $50k rehab in 2030.

so you're recommending that my starting point should be finding a real estate agent, utilize theirbknowledge to learn about the process, and get referrals for good loan officers.

I started working with Rent To Retirement last year and have had nothing but good things to say about the experience as well.
