Dealing with skyrocketing property taxes?

Purchase price: $330,000 Cash invested: $1 Sale price: $820,000 This was a zero down deal.

I've got a deep discount on a truly passive STR.I've got a lead on a deal that can be purchased almost $100k under list price given the circumstances.

As for Sohin Shah, not sure he's the best to deal with. 

Deal Generation: What strategies have you found most effective for generating deals and identifying promising investment opportunities?

A lot of investors (especially OOS) have very little idea what is really going on with their property - or specifically in some cases, how bad it is and what the PM has to deal with.The second issue is that a lot of new investors have unrealistic expectations of what a PM can do and what the cost of these things is.

Potentially "flipping up" once or twice between now and then, eventually retiring to the property, or selling to acquire a retirement property there.I'm an experienced, long-time licensed agent in Atlanta and have done many fix and flip deals in the Atlanta area, but really don't have any experience with STR or MTR, especially in Fl. 

However, other than my primary, I've been only investing in Memphis and Detroit where I find cash flow positive deals and appreciation has been good as well.

I have a 3-unit off market deal.  2 residential units and ground floor commercial. 3,600 total sq. ft. 

Cash flow is solid, tenants just signed on for a second year after I increased rent 100 a month.I'm looking to use this as a platform for more investments but am having trouble figuring out how to finance other deals in the area.
