I am looking at a property here in FL that is listed as a single family for 470k but is functionally a triplex (3/2 house with a guest house in back that has 2 units, one is a 1/1 and the other is a studio, both units in guesthouse have kitchens).

However, it's important to note that it functions as a deferral, meaning the taxes owed will be carried over to the next property.

But not including utilities, HOA fees, etc.I do plan on doing moderate, functional theming and a game/theater room.

The challenge is a lot of the developers handle the GC function by building their team of subs that do all the work.

When the work is done poorly, it makes the home less attractive, less functional, and may require hiring a professional to come in and fix it.

I just put in some Bluetooth speakers (Edifiers from my deals of the day thread) so I am making a sheet for that so folks can connect and listen to tunes.There is also this - https://www.yourwelcome.com/It is a tablet system that has a bunch of functions.

Remove the management headaches and have a back office support those functions, 2.The ability to co-broker and refer deals nationwide within the platform. 3.

The building itself contains a bathroom with fully functioning plumbing, electrical, and an HVAC system in place already. 

Once you have a short list, get an account with each one and run them through the wringer to see how they function.

My long term goal is to have a beach vacation home that functions as a STR that we stay in when we want, hopefuly 1031 exchanging into that.I also have started 2 real estate investing networking groups, and a monthly meetup.
