Hey Adam, goodluck on taking a new job and making the big move and upgrade living here in the Tampa/St pete area! 

.= approx. 700My monthly cost for living in one unit= approx $1800 (which is what I pay to rent right now).

I live in Mississippi but willing to invest in surrounding states.

The one I used had all of these, I'm just the type that will build and install my own cabinets (I enjoy it) and the $1500 savings of doing so is too tempting... 

Then of course depends on your lifestyle and where you actually live some places are much more expensive to live than others..

I live outside of Winnipeg, but would be willing to travel for meetups.

I read you have to live in the home, but was unsure if we would qualify. 

@Matthew RolfI’m not doing a crash pad I’m house hacking a 5 bedroom house which I will live in here in a few weeks and rent the bedrooms on 1 year leases to pilots and flight attendants I’m personally friends with.

The cost of living is extremely low compared to other cities and you can still many many positive cash flowing and 1% deals here.

They get their fee and feel they have to justify that fee by scaring the living sh** out of a prospective buyer.
