At least a lot better than the path I chose to take. 

In my opinion, it is better to choose an area with a path to progress. 

STR seems to have better tax benefits (in the right market) but is it worth it at a distance ???

I plan to move down to Miami to be closer to more investors and a better quality of living.

Some go as far as saying that if you’re evicting frequently, something is broken upstream, either in underwriting, screening, or tenant relations.So here’s what I’d love to pick your brains on: Do you see eviction as a necessary cost of doing business, or do you think there are better ways to prevent it altogether?

You also want to look for these like/kind properties that have sold in the past 3-6 months within a .25 to 1 mile radius.This comes with practice so the more you do the better you will become at it. 

I had a client who kept waiting for a better rate, only to see it jump 0.5% overnight costing him thousands.

However, full site visits, though more expensive, maximize tax savings by capturing every depreciable asset and offer better audit protection.While online studies may be suitable for simpler properties, full site visits are ideal for complex or high-value properties.

If you're prepared to acquire multiple properties at once, you can gain a competitive edge and negotiate better deals that simply aren’t available when buying individually.3.

I assume you got a better interest rate, and I know you are saving a boatload of interest. 3) imagine year 11-30 where you are cash flowing thousands with paid off properties instead of hundreds because of these lean 10 years. 4) hopefully you can raise rents at least $100 each every year and in 2 years your cash flow neutral even with preferred short term mortgage.
