@Joshua MiddletonI am very familiar with that street, good friend used to rent Long term on it for about 7 years.  

Or you can sell it, split the equity, and go separate ways.I'm not a fan of borrowing from family/friends unless all parties are honest and everything is documented in a written contract.

One big thing to keep in mind is that Daytona Beach itself is not very STR friendly.

I just recently started a jiu jitsu academy with a couple of friends, and although I was not in the day to day grind of the process in finding a building and building the space out, I did become fascinated with the process.

Question for any and all.. we have had trouble finding a real estate investor friendly CPA, one that proactively wants to help us learn and obtain all the tax rewards with real estate. 

I have always been fascinated with Peoria, though I’m not sure how investor friendly Illinois is.

I grew up in Canada and still have family there and will be in the area frequently this year 2025. 

@Denise Lang Starting your real estate investing journey out of state can be strategic given California's high costs and tenant-friendly laws.

But it's difficult for me to just hand over money to someone I've never met, when I have so many friends (and have read so many stories here) who have been ripped off by contractors.How can I protect myself?

High LTV purchased at retail (off mls) has large initial negative cash flow- regulations are tenant friendly.
