Many Commercial lenders are not licensed, since there is not a specific license to originate 5+ Unit Commercial loans. 

I'd consider utilizing the tax experts option on turbo tax if you have any specific filing questions.

So I’m buying, adding capital improvements that are specific to aviation operations, then selling the hangars to the avionics company.  

.- every investor reaches a point where their DTI is trashed and they have to move into different loan products. there are tons of lenders out there that specifically work with REIs & have many ways to navigate this. don't let DTI concerns keep you from moving forward. - LLCs provide minimal legal protection in case of an incident. work with an asset protection attorney to come up with a better plan if they are that concerned. also have great insurance and an umbrella policy. 

Are there suitable alternatives?

-Any other specific tips for the Tampa market would be welcomed!

Also, it is true that most of them specialize in 'normal' real estate and that investing opportunities are more by word of mouth or again via these local agencies with experience in specifically doing that (you need to know them by having done other projects in most of the cases).Saw your message, let's continue over there 👍

@Daniel UchimotoThere are some MTR specific sites in addition to Furnished Finders.

Hi @RonnieI would suggest utilizing the BiggerPockets local meetups tab to network and find out who is RSVP'ing to the events in Miami and targeting those specific individuals given you're out of state. 

If you have specific question about your portfolio you are always free to ask them here.
