Rent to Retirement and Steve Yoak out of Akron, OH

I haven't had many issues getting booked, but since I have a couple opening this month I thought I'd reach out and see what others have seen/experienced. 

I live in Miami, I took advice from some of you knowledgeable gurus and decided not to invest out of state but instead to invest in more affordable cities in Florida.

What are my best options for leveling the garage floor so I have a flat surface to begin the interior build out on?

Are there specific things I should look out for or avoid?

I am in the process of settlement on my 1st property in 1 week. i have a 5% down conv loan thru a credit union bank. this a duplex and is a row house. i plan to live in one unit and rent out the other. the seller is also selling the duplex property next to it.

Happy to chat if you're considering out of state.

I bought a SFR with a completely built out In-law suite in the basement.

For the experts out there, how do you think this would impact the terms?

I know it'll take more than 1 postcard sent out or one call made and I know I need to make multiple "touches" over a month or two to truly get engagement.
