I'm particularly interested in rental properties in the Alabama and Florida areas.Outside of real estate, I enjoy spending time in the salt water and hanging with my two dogs Sheeba and Theo.Excited to learn and connect with you all!

My advice would be to see if you can purchase the plans only. 

Sold for 155k, my investor plans on doing some light cosmetic updates to bring this back to life and get it on the market for rent asap.

A lot of variables to give you a solid answer - but if you can financially weather a little turbulence I would stick to the the original STR/MTR plan, as long as there are STR comps that support this decision.

Despite these challenges, the successful sale at $251,000 underscored the importance of strategic planning, efficient management, and strong partnerships in maximizing profitability in real estate investments.

FeeOnlyNetwork and XY Planning Network also have great tools for finding an advisor, though those will be bigger pools of advisors who may or may not specialize in working with real estate investors.

The landlord, who lives in Indiana, recently notified us that she plans to sell the home and we have 90 days to find a new spot.

This is why I never fill a vacancy until the unit is vacant because often times tenants have last minute changes in their plans and an average tenant may not have the ability to make alternate accommodations.If you are using the PA lease provided to realtors, check out paragraph 21 about holdover tenants.

I plan to do the normal background/credit checks, get references for the tenants, etc like I usually do.

I, like many used to think “newbies” posted questions or asked for “help” to obtain the best advice from experienced investors, obtain guidance on strategic alternatives, or get a qualified opinion on whether the latest hot guru was worth the $40k price of admission.But, I was WRONG.No, none of those reasons are why newbies come to BP.They don’t want to find out that their “revelation” about how to invest has been tried about 10 million times - with limited successThey don’t want to learn that without capital, knowledge and experience their willingness to commit weekends is near uselessThey don’t want our opinion that they should skip trying to wholesale and spend some time learning as a licensed agentThey don’t want advice that has them taking classes at community colleges or learning real estate law, finance, or principles.So WHAT do they seek when they come to BPThey want comfort, encouragement. and to be told their thoughts are correct.
