Scott, I would HIGHLY recommend going some details and running some examples through it so people can make an informed decision on which one to use.

However, I recognize I still have much to learn.I would highly value advice from veteran investors on finding the right opportunities, understanding regulations, financing projects, and overall best practices.

Hmm....I'm thinking about that...because I have a family member who have a rental in the Fort Lauderdale area with a beautiful oceanfront in a flood zone area and her place is in high demand.

Courses are great if you are looking for high-level "paper experience," but the best way to learn is to jump right in.

(The fact that they have the nerve to call it a "High Yield Savings Account" is almost insulting! 

The quote I’m getting is for 4200 and that seems a little high.

There is also a large restaurant company here that I have been told needs rentals for a shorter term but pays very well to house staff that they bring in from out of town to work for them during high season.

:Class A Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, 3-5 years for positive cashflow, but you get highest relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% the more recent norm.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 680+, zero evictions in last 7 years.Class B Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, decent amount of relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% should be applied only if proper research done to support.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 620-680, some blemishes, but should have no evictions in last 5 yearsClass C Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, high cashflow and at the lower end of relative rent & value appreciation.

Are your properties in a place where the demand is low and supply is high? 

Costs are also a bit high right now and it’s a substantial investment, likely $1000s per day to run at a scale that would be useful to the community.
