In what areas would you recommend I buy my first rental property?

Another question: Have you noticed any change in income for the property since the policy was implemented?

I'm learning a lot on here and I look forward to getting some rental/investment property in the future.

Owner-occupied transactions are mostly emotional decision based.Investors should check emotions at the door and only make business based decisions.What does that mean in practice?

Are you interested in getting MLS access and access to look at all of the vacant properties first as an investor who has a license? 

Next step is a multifamily property.

Having a good team can make a big difference in fixing up a property, avoiding hidden issues, and saving money in the long run.I recently found SureBuild Restoration – they offer a lot of home restoration services and seem pretty reputable.

To that end, in most cases even if the properties are owned within an entity, the principles (investors) will need to personally guarantee the debt.

The property may well be ready for a spruce up and increased rates.

Now that I am retired, I am eager to: 1) Gain hands-on experience in flipping homes in Florida, 2) Find properties with potential for value-add/forced appreciation, 3) Partner with experienced home flippers for collaborative projects.
