I recently purchased a duplex and the landlord policy $3K per annum. 

Purchase price: $380,000 Cash invested: $80,000 Acquired my first property in Broward County, FL!

Any other advice.Thanks in advance,Josh@Joshua Metzger congrats on your first STR purchase and welcome to the BP forums.1.

You can study them as well as play around with numbers to help determine what an appropriate buy box for you would be. 

In the near future id like to move out and purchase another similar property but I'm trying to maximize my income and property performance before hand to give myself the best chance at qualifying for a fha loan 3.5% down.

Could anyone help me understand how would a hard money loan work for land purchase only? 

I'm also wondering if anybody knows the costs and rules for bringing in water and power to a piece of land in these areas, I know it's different for each property but is there any possible way to get estimates on bringing in water and power to a piece of land I want to purchase before actually buying the property so I can create a general budget for buikding a home.

At 0 completed rehabs in the last 3-years you'd be looking at 75% of the purchase price + 100% of rehab with no prepayment penalty periods.

I typically recommend beginning with a prequalification letter so you can have a solid understanding of your purchase power in the U.S., which will help steer you into the right markets/areas for investing.

As a borrower, I utilize my private lenders whom I pay between 8-12% to quickly purchase properties that are distressed or low in value.
