I spent some time in Lakewood and saw this kind of thing more often than most other places I’ve been.

I am actually kind of astonished by this.

@Jonathan SmallThese are just general and common knowledge about Florida known to most. 

Things that I think are obviously common sense are in fact completely incorrect.

Sometimes those small gestures can save you headaches when construction dust starts flying.I’m curious... now that you’ve pulled off this deal, how would you approach finding your next project differently, and what kind of local contacts would you prioritize connecting with first?

Any general advice is much appreciated.50k is more than enough money, the biggest question at 22 is are you ready to buy a property and be kind of locked in for 3-5 years.
