In the end; they would have had to dig-down the basement in order to achieve the necessary height, and then ended up just deciding to vacate the basement and convert it to "Heat and Storage" and ended up loosing all of their rentable potential from the basement level...Most of our clients see it as too much of a risk to try to keep the existing basement floor when it is around 6'-11" - 7'-1" rough.

Orlando is literally built for STR as you won't have to get wrapped up in learning and keeping up with regulations and nosy neighbors, I'd be happy to talk to you about that more.Florida in general has always been very attractive for landlords due to friendly landlord laws, constant flow of new residents, weather, pricing compared to many other large metros, always growing economy and endless hospitality/service jobs that feed the rental market.

Hi, as a veteran in WA state looking to get my first deal in real estate at times it's overwhelming and I could use some help with finding that first opportunity whether it be wholesaling or storage unit investing, etc.

On a build I am finishing up and am furnishing this week in the Smokies the well, pump, storage tanks and filtration system alone is close to $75k.

The idea behind this isn't novel of course, but a way to circumvent the endless and crowded sea of opinions and narrative shaping charlatans that make their daily bread by deluding the curious minds of some vague one-size-fits-all approach... but oak trees don't grow over night. 

I'm a new investor (have a separate W2 job), looking to build storage in near future.
