On average over the last 5 to 6 years i' made about 14 or so percent just in S&P index funds... 360k at 14% is 50,400$ or 4200 a month over your number.

Lastly, if you plan on spending $1500 or more, take your "shopping list" to the pro desk and have it run through the "bid room". 

I’ve been at this a Long time, and almost all these people bragging on how they made money anticipating the last crash (or boom) get the next one COMPLETELY WRONG.

I tried to do a conventional 30yr fixed mortgage but was turned down by my normal lender due to the tax write offs over the last year with my other properties.

Excited to learn and connect with you all!

I’m a new investor in the Jacksonville area who is looking to network and make connections.

I would love to connect and learn more from this community!

BTW, my year to date has been on par with last year with ADR up a bit and occupancy down a bit (which I prefer) and my fall is looking stable given I’m in the hurricane prone area of SWFL. 

@Robert ThompsonI don't think property value are 'low' right now, but lots of us are still buying.In order of easy to hard you can: look on the MLS; connect with wholesalers and others who source off market deals; and reach out to sellers / market yourself.If you can though, start with a house hack or live in flip instead. 

Looking forward to connecting with all of you and see how we can help each other accomplish our goals!
