Florida employment numbers continue to shine. https://www.sun-sentinel.com/business/fl-bz-unemployment-october-20181116-story,amp.html

I don't think I have to continue here, you all get it.

We had to expand the parking of a 6-plex we have but had 5 acres to play with.Good luck.

Even the best property manager can only play the hand they’re dealt.

I am very diligent about saving money and found real estate as an avenue for investment that could produce a passive income if I played my cards right.

The general idea is that mastering anything - from your profession to your relationships or hobbies is a continuous path, and never a destination.

Property taxes $3,611...run through the numbers and you will see it's all an appreciation play...since you will only cover monthly expenses with a lot down...With respect to appreciation...at these numbers I am thinking more about selling then buying...other house we bought for office/rental up 15% per year in two years since we bought it...feels great, but makes me nervous...If you are interested in short term rentals be sure to check with the City, as they are only allowed if more than 250 feet from another short term rental, so westside, near the river are locked out...That said, if you do decide to invest here pick areas carefully.

Ideally, I'd like to take advantage at Airbnb'ing both units, but I am wondering if I should play it safe and long term the top unit to ensure consistent income and Airbnb the bottom unit.

It's become less risky with a shorter time horizon since AI has really started to come into play.

I also can add that I like that area the home is located in and much growth has happened in the past few years there and in my belief will continue for the forseeable future.
