I am in the Tampa Florida market and they make a killing here and are worth their weight in gold to the owners of the community.  

Also, zoning and market trends matter a lot more than in residential, so it’s worth getting familiar with Tampa’s landscape.

If it was in service for 10 years, it would be $100k worth of depreciation taken.

If the seller is insisting on a high price with not-so-hot financing terms, though, this may be a riskier project than it's worth.

You then might renovate the property, so it's worth, let's say, $150,000 after 12 months.At the end of the first year you have title to a property worth $150,000 which is serving as collateral on promissory note where you owe about $88,600.

It's the industry I want to be in, I see it all as well-worth learning.Now, I have a few questions for the community here.

That's not worth your trouble IMHO....is there anything else more serious?
