What color is the sky in your world?

Most investors have rose-colored-glasses when it comes to their neighborhood quality.

@Michelle Reid I'm a big fan of the LTR market in Cape Coral right now.

I just did this with a 4/3 new build out in Cape Coral and a construction to perm loan through the bank.

You need to watch the game, not watch the players, theatrics and colors.

Are they familiar with what they should do for colors, amenities, etc?

Miami/ Coral Gables, even worse. 1500 1700 brick houses without a garage on main roads (Byrd ave for example) 1.5 MILL is just nuts.

So like I am not going to run out and buy a bunch of lots in Lehigh acres or coral gables FLA which is saturated with new builds and un finished new builds were the  FOMO got going big time and builders have failed to execute and left investors high and dry.

I'll admit upfront that I would never own rental property in CA, so that colors my response.I'd offer the tenant up to $10K to leave immediately, keeping the eviction off their record, then sell.

Lilia’s breakdown of what to consider before investing is something I wish I’d read when I started.To add some color, I had a client a few years ago who purchased a duplex in Austin with a plan to hold for 12+ years.
