I am debating if I should buy a decently priced home in Florida using a mortgage, rent it out as soon as possible, and have a tenant(s) pay down my mortgage until I am ready to move in and have the mortgage either paid down or nearly paid down.

The tenant's are moving out this summer and I'll be looking for new tenants, however, I'd like to rent out my unit to mid-term tenants while I'm away traveling for months at a time.

There are no other offers so the back and forth over exactly what needs to be moved has just irritated me beyond belief.It was a leak in the utility room, not a flood.

Our plan is to move her to part-time next year and have her qualify for REPS.

@Kyle H. what are some key traits you would recommend looking for in my search for a STR property out there?

I think some of your exit strategies could be to reposition and add some unique features to your rental to attract more renters and potentially drive a higher price, 1031 exchange and move it to a different area or even market.

You can find some deals around the area but they go fast especially when they are already turn key. 

I spoke to a lawyer who says I need to move my passive investment homes to a Java fa llc and each home should go into a land trust.

Contrary to how youtubers glorify the profits, property-flipping is essentially a value-add/opportunistic strategy and the key risks you, as the investor, are taking are 1) asset prices, i.e., how well will the market be when you sell the property, and 2) capital expenditures, i.e., can you financially efficiently improve the asset to the end users (renters or users).

Key fob?
