My other investments focus on the mid-term rental space, and I’m drawn to Jacksonville to stay near hospitals and schools, which are essential for my target demographic.I’d love insights on the strength of the current market here, any projected trends, and tips for making a solid investment in this location.

@Jesse Dominguez-Castelan You should also explore one of the quickest options to this situation - reach out to the seller financing provider and see if he'll extend the balloon a few more years.I did this in the past when my 5 year balloon was about up, it was a simple email checking if he was happy with the arrangement and would extend an additional 3 years. 

I should preface this with, this is not an open door for me to loan, I do not offer my private money loans through this forum.

I have been considering joining AAGLA and know they have lease forms and other forms, but it is $199/yr.In the next couple months, I am looking to get a standard CA NAA lease written up with RUBS for water and sewer billing and a requirement for the tenants to carry their own renters insurance policies with $100K or so (if there are recommendations around this please let me know) liability limits.Does the community here have any advice on how best to do this and where I could get a lease form that does the trick?

@Lena CastellanoTo prepare for your first real estate purchase next year, explore house hacking options, research rental regulations, network with contractors and investors, practice deal analysis, join local REI groups, and connect with agents.

This let's you ramp up your purchasing quickly.

Wanted to check in and make sure this got resolved for you.

Some will say it's financial suicide to not do it.I'm not going to go into all the details.

All - I've owned this rental property for +6 years in Cleveland, OH and never had fleas ever with several rental cycles.

Are there additional primary residence requirements such as homeowners exemption required, or anyone know if this is coming down the line?
