I highly suggest as many in-person networking events as possible! 

@Matt Agnew Flip one of the units with quality stuff, knock out big ticket items, and then list the property as the a value-add opportunity.

However, when reading the FHA Loan Contingency Exhibit, section 20 reads: Home Warranty:If the improvements on Property are less than one year old at the time of Closing, Seller shall, if required by FHA, provide a home warranty certificate acceptable to FHA.Does this mean I have to personally warranty any issues on the property that may arise within a year or buy a home warranty from a company that offers that.

Best bet would be a “partnership” with a monied individual looking for a high risk/high return passive investment with you providing the “active” part.  

If the trust gifts you the property, it retains the original cost basis, potentially leading to high capital gains taxes upon sale.

It was an operating STR already and it was doing well but them's the breaks.Inventory isn't real high along the coast there but there are some places.

Every time you lower your tax bracket you are lowering the value of the deductions.

When you bank with a smaller regional or local player, you run the risk that the 3rd party aggregator won't see the value in maintaining a bespoke connection protocol that likely provides very little data compared to the big national banks.

I had a friend arguing with me yesterday Pace's program has high value.

Many investors start their journey by diving into individual distressed property deals, but if you want to grow into a high-volume operation, it’s essential to change your mindset, strategy, and execution.
