Quote from @Dongzi Wu: SEC Charges Self-Proclaimed 'Queen of Mobile Homes' and Three Salespeople with Fraud in Mobile Home Investment Scheme This is code for investors money is gone unless there is some bank account somewhere or there are assets.. these deals never end good.

Fact is this is a path I am currently on, that is: Somewhat aggressive Options trading strategy to build enough capital so that I can self fund my first design/build project in the Usonian/ FLW style.So to that end, nice update on here... portfolio is up like 40% in 2 weeks and I am hoping to get some more gains in the next few weeks.

Depending on how much you'll like to contribute to this retirement account keep in mind the self employment taxes you may need to pay of 15.3% and age if contributing to a traditional not roth type retirement account.I agree with the above based on your answer you most likely won't have issues in FL.

Do you believe self-showings, where there is little to no human contact, (to build value in your unit or the PM company), until a tenant has paid an application fee, a race to the bottom on your rent rate?  

A PM would have the simple defense of "no one wanted to book".Unfortunately, I am probably minimizing the challenges faced by the STR PM as I am not in that space.

You should either buy with a DSCR up front if the property is eligible and self fund your rehab or hard money for acquisition, do most rehab to common areas with the exception of additional walls prior to refinancing into a long term DSCR loan. 

Second, are you planning to self-manage or hire a PM?

These people should have been out a month ago. 3) They should have a procedure for repairs and evictions that would have prevented this last minute “We asked for repairs” defense.
