If you can sell and acquire a better deal to park your money in, execute, but this is easier said than done.

Looking urgently for an investor friendly electrician who can help rewiring the recent property I acquired in Bradenton.

I’m in no rush to move once I get into something, especially if it makes more sense to stay out for an additional year or so.

I ask because I'm looking into acquiring and launching one in Canyon Lake and haven't found local facebook groups like I have in my home area for STR hosts.

If you are someone who can only acquire real estate through the use of credit cards, you shouldn't be buying real estate.

As OP said, hard to find umbrella that will cover STR papered insurance unless I find a carrier that writes it under my name personally and names the LLC as an additional insured (I own my properties under LLCs).  

By that I mean, In addition to buy and hold she would like to always at least be flipping one deal that makes sense.

Talking the seller into actually signing .. giving them money to sign. etc etc.. this was/is a very intense way to try to acquire property at least the ones we did were we actually made money the day we closed.
