I’ve been in this situation and with a growing portfolio and expenses, it’s hard to put money aside for two mortgage payments.At Sid Was Here, my management company, we’ve always offered to let guests pay into the future for longer stays.

I liked the tenant, school is starting back etc, I told them they could pay first month and security deposit and I would let them have the rest of August for free.

Rentrange uses data from large property management companies just like mine.

I do private lending in a self directed IRA with Equity Trust Company as my custodian.

In addition to property sourcing, I require an agent who can negotiate effectively on my behalf, ensuring I secure the best possible deals.If you have experience in identifying distressed properties or working with real estate investors in Florida, I would love to connect.

It's one of the hottest markets in the US right now with so much population growth, job growth, and companies moving/developing here (26B Intel headquarters being built here, 68K+ enrollment in Ohio State University, Amazon, FB, Google, Honda, Nationwide, Anduril, etc.).

I manage a coinvesting club where we invest once a month in apartments, trailer parks, vacation properties, land and recently we even invested in an industriall company.
