So maybe it'll give you a more realistic market rent for your property.

I would want to use a lawyer in a more secure deal where I know I could afford him.The deals that came in are both two bedrooms and under 1000 sq ft, which makes me skeptic about my ability to sell them with barely a buyers list.

“I would have preferred to see this as the first of several property tax increases and part of a more aggressive plan.

Then, when you get a more refined question on any topic, people are more than willing to help you out.

I do all my hard calculations on the conservative side, and then I also do what I call a more "realistic" calculation.  

The reality is such an option does not exist all the time and there comes a point where there is a less painful option and a more painful one.Maybe hope for a cash buyer so you do not have to pay closing costs for the buyer.

I know that there are real estate groups out there, but I thought that this would be a good idea for some of us that want to improve, exchange ideas and have a more direct communication with each other, without leaving the comfort of our house.So my idea is to connect with other Florida real estate investors, and analyze 2-3 potential deals that we are considering through a conference call.

If you have no cash and just that fuzzy stuff in your pockets you may want to consider partnering up with a more experienced investor.

To get something in your price range that is in a more-desireable area for you and your family to live in, maybe check to see if you can get a fixer upper funded with private (or hard) money, then once it is "move-in ready" refinance with the VA loan that is available to you as a vet. 

Doing some estimated numbers, adjusting with all three of those above and an average interest rate, at 30 years, it still doesn't cashflow much, HOA fees are at 880 quarterly. so its looking like a more of a flip kind of deal. the listing was posted just a few days ago and when visiting the property with the REA she noticed what she thought was an investor taking photos.
