And, as they say: people always need a place to live.ConclusionI don't know what the future holds, but I hope I've at least convinced you there is a strong case to be made that now is as good a time as any to be buying (the right) real estate.If you agree and you want to get into real estate but don't know where to start, you're not alone.

I am looking for a strong RE Agent specializing in STR or mid Term Rentals in Cape Coral to Fort Meyers area.

They usually require 2 years of tax returns, and a current paystub but if you're employed for 6-12 months and open accounts with them (savings, checking, etc.) you could make a strong argument.

Do you want strong appreciation, even if it means sacrificing some present-day cashflow?

Design is my strong suit and I'm happy to give advice there.

Some of the challenges:1) Pairing clients with properties that with an affordable plan yield the results the clients need2) Get the property into contract in this aggressive sellers' market with strong STR property buyer competition3) Deep due diligence to minimize property risk during inspection period + create best COE plan to yield the highest possible cash flow + start scheduling post-COE reno work4) After COE, get the hot potato moving- help in any way necessary to make sure my clients get this work done quickly and without complications so they can get their property on the rental market ASAP and start generating cash flow.5) Occasional STR audits as requested (always an option) by clients, to further boost their cash flow, and effectively their home value- based on income approach.

How strong is their current lease?

We strongly feel that appraisal value will top $900k.  

In 90 - 120 days business owners can obtain $100k to $250k in unsecured business lines of credit themselves.Follow these simple steps:1) Establish a strong internet presence for your company by listing it on at least 15 sites-- Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Scoop It, Bing, Manta, 411, Google+, Google Places, etc.2) Establish a business checking account at 2 banks (with a 700 credit each will offer a business credit card.3) Make regular deposits into your business checking account for 90 days to establish a favorable bank rating.4) Add higher level trade references to Dun and Bradstreet to provide depth to your Paydex Score (net 30s are usually lower amounts; you'll need higher approvals from your trade references-- 2k to 4k).5) Upload your company financials to Dun and Bradstreet to complete your file and create a strong credit profile.6) After 90 days apply for unsecured lines of credit.

31 years later, still going strong.
