The other is a smaller operation which does a lot of business in the specific neighborhood the house is in.

Depending on how long it takes you to save up the amount, you might want to also allow for inflation on that amount for your continued savings.[2]   Read Rich Dad poor dad.[3]   Think about getting a second job - possibly a temporary job - save a 100% of the money.Just my 2 cents.

Hi @Jinxiang XuFoundation repair is common but no pipeline replacement, it depends on the age of the property, but in your situation it could be due to the foundation work done.Service prices are in all ranges.

Personally, I think this company is probaby about to go out of business - they have lots of inventory, and it's not exactly prudent to be investing in FL in the coastal areas now anyway.  

I also own a co hosting business but my rentals are in FL and TN. 

I was wondering how people managed to scale their businesses faster.

Of course, the smaller the property, the more necessary that you see every inch of it because there isn't a business running on top of the land like large-scale multifamily, self-storage, industrial, and more.

@Brice Alef-Torrisi putting each property in its own LLC is usually overkill.Getting a bank account for each LLC is typically something you need to do to avoid "piercing of the LLC corporate veil" (actually depends on tax selection you made for LLC), but is also overkill.You haven't indicated how you are holding the deed for the latest property.If in your name or same LLC, you don't need a separate bank account.If in separate LLC, you can create a Master LLC, have each property LLC hire the Master LLC to manage their affairs, and just get a bank account for Master LLC.This is an opinion, not advice, so lookup CPA Frank Alcini in Troy for expert advice.

You can check with the Better Business Bureau (BBB), your state’s department of business oversight, or your local real estate community.5.
