I will be leading the charge on building a scope of work, (if needed) reaching out to my extensive database of subcontractors for quotes/work, making selections/choosing materials, and the main one performing most of the hands-on labor, while teaching him (who has no experience) how to do these tasks.

Hard task but not impossible in any way.

This seemed like way to be able to do some of the tasks I love without owning more properties myself, but the amount of marketing/setup/etc. needed...well, I did that for 25 years already in my previous business, and I'm not sure I want to start all over again.

we have seen this before with folks on BP.. this site used to be pretty anti paid any kind of training that has now all changed.. there is nothing different from this guy than any of the other paid gurus not that its a bad thing.. but just keep in mind they make their money selling their information.

Thanks It's actually kinda interesting, my dad had an internship with a bunch of college students, of which I was one, and we did property management/construction tasks on one day and looked for motivated sellers and analyzed deals the next. 

I've had transactions with "homeowner" specials that you just shake your head --- and they call it pride of ownership :) lolI'm not "anti-town" or "anti-gov" but sometimes the system is silly. 

If you do decide to invest in Florida, it's a good idea to enlist the services of a reputable property management company to help with tasks such as screening tenants, collecting rent, and property maintenance.It's important to manage risks when investing in out-of-state properties because it can be more complicated and may need local support from property managers, contractors, and real estate agents.

I'm looking at the proper treatment of the de minimis safe harbor election 1.263(a)-(f), specifically paragraph 6 which details the anti-abuse rule.

I get that and yes zoning can be a daunting task at first.

This is the action stated at heart of anti-trust.
