But perhaps the pros are better than I realized. 

In one small town in NC, there is a casino being constructed in an area with almost no STRs, it's still 2 years from opening, but what people don't realize is that because of the lack of hotels, and the size of the projects, contractors have no where to stay, two of my clients have bought very cheap housing in the area, modestly furnished it, and have better ROI than almost any other investment they've ever had. 

I gave them a few opportunities, and tried to clarify what I was expecting, but ultimately realized I don't have time to try and convince someone to do their job and moved on.

You probably have more opportunities than you realize! 

Not sure why I did that and I just realized that. 

@Joshua Simms Once you go through the experience of purchasing a home you'll realize how simple it is.

I realize in some areas you just can't avoid flooding risk, but in most areas there are plenty of properties on higher ground. 

After reading the article, I realize it was racism.

I want to buy under an LLC but have come to realize they are state specific.

I realize that each deal is widely varied so there is no way to have a one size fits all approach so I am more looking to understand the math and how it may relate to this potential occurrence.
