@Larry Lim JrCondo market is definitely getting more available, lots to choose from.

It will 100% positively be taxed, all you might be able to choose is the rate. 

I am in my third decade as a real estate investor and I could do a lot of different things, but that’s how I choose to invest.

Yes, vacation rentals (STRs) can choose ages allowed on their property.

If I search based on terms, "Cash only" it would show the the listing that includes "Cash Only" but some of those listings also include "Conventional Financing" or "FHA" so its hard to know how the buyer paid for it.When another realtor lists a property for sale, the realtor chooses the terms, cash, cash only, conventional, VA or FHA, it means it can accept all those but the buyer could buy using any of them after it closes, the sold comp doesn't say if it was cash or financed.

Is there a benefit to either: choosing an architect first and then builder, or choosing a builder with an in-house architect?

Familys,gathering,business meeting, couples,etc. we choose the family route being that we are one and something close to Disney for the landmark.

If you've refinanced the first one, you should be able to get another FHA on the second (if you choose to move in).Hope this helped!

If they don’t pay by the 7th then we can start the eviction filing if we choose to.

When you choose your bank ask if they have a commercial lending department.
