You just can't beat the simplicity and it is the most hands-off business model I can think of maybe short of just holding the note.

But I’m getting ready to have them very shortly

I am looking to grow the portfolio to short term rents in Daytona Beach, Florida.  

Never invest in Longterm assets with short term debt.  

Therefore, if you look at history, real estate has continuously performed in an upwards fashion while, like any other investment, has experienced short lived corrections from time to time.

This means there may be less competition from professional investors, especially in areas where the demand for owner-occupied homes is strong.In short, if you are just entering the real estate market and don’t yet have the capital to compete directly with investors for multifamily properties, focusing on single-family homes could be a more strategic choice.

This benefit allows the owner’s estate or heirs to receive the property at a new, higher basis—reducing capital gains taxes if they choose to sell the property after inheriting it.In short, partial disposition allows tax deductions for retired property components during ownership, while the death step-up basis resets the property’s depreciated value, providing tax relief for heirs.

In related news, we had a guests for a  10 day stay and they wanted to cut the stay short.

The expectation established fell far short given all the mistakes and poor advice.

that is more a RV park. the MBH parks down here. we typically own the land, lot, and trailers. there is a reason but long story short, if i just own the lot and they dont pay the fee. i do not have the biggest teeth to push the need for my money. but if i own it all, my experience says it is a better path
