My name is Sharielle and I am a dual licensed in DE & PA.

This is a situation outside of my control.

There is no minimum term lease limit in Florida.However, as you have mentioned, some HOA may limit the number of turnover tenant per year (de facto limiting the minimum lease time), limit minimum lease time, or completely forbid lease and require the owner to be the occupant.

@Adolphus Fletcher For multifamily investing, most real estate investors typically use an LLC for several reasons:Liability Protection: LLCs protect your personal assets from lawsuits or debts associated with the property.Pass-Through Taxation: Income and losses from an LLC pass through to your personal tax return, avoiding double taxation seen in C-Corps.Flexibility: LLCs allow for flexible management structures and are easier to maintain than corporations.Anonymity: In some states, LLCs can offer a degree of anonymity if you use a registered agent and form the LLC in a state that doesn’t require public disclosure of members, such as Delaware or Wyoming.S-Corps are should be avoided for real estate investing because of various reasons.

The tenants know the mini split is their best bet for controlling temp on their side, but they do not want to not pay for the energy to run it and would prefer the gas gets used (gas is included in their lease.) 

As for the 1031, while you as an individual LP cannot 1031, some syndicators will allow the syndication to 1031 from one controlled deal to another.  

Condos are a much riskier investment than a SF rental because you control so much less of the deal. 

This is one of the most passive types of investing, but still gives you control of the property and investment.  

Any delay or failure in the performance by Landlord hereunder shall be excused if and to the extent caused by the occurrence of any event that is beyond Landlord's control, such as fires/ floods, earthquakes, wars, sabotage, terrorism, vandalism, governmental acts, injunctions, or labor strikes, acts of God and any other occurrences that are unavoidable or unpreventable despite reasonable efforts to prevent, avoid, delay, or mitigate the effects thereof."

I sat through 2 ridiculous training sessions then they took control of my meta account and 4 months later, I still can’t get them off of it.
