I will tell you from experience that the squeaky wheel gets the grease in this process.

I’m willing to bet you’ve done a lot of research about wholesaling, flipping, etc. but still feel lacking in experience and knowledge.  

I have experience with STR, MTR & LTR and I live and work here in Escambia county. 

We have also partnered with a reliable general contractor who will be investing in the project and has extensive experience in mid-scale hotel construction.

Do a search here on BP his name has come up before maybe someone with actual experience has replied in the past.

Its priced well, needs work(which is fine) but wondering if anyone has had any experience buying, living, or managing any rentals in this area or near it?

Without real estate experience, it is next to impossible to vet a good property manager and a poor one will be your largest expense.3.

A couple more things to consider as you do this, and I've overseen 100+ apartment units renovation that we've owned and managed so I have some experience in this. - If you're already tearing out the cabinets, maybe see how much more it would be to re-pipe the water lines or re-place exposed sewer lines.

All I have to say are positive things about my experience, and everything JT has taught has been right on!!

Even if they just have them on as an advisory role, having them on the LLC helps you get a better deal on funding and their experience will help you to get the project completed more quickly.
