This process most likely will take you less time than first figuring out how to swing a hammer properly and then swinging it.

To my knowledge, lease options if structured properly are bona fide legal and you won't run into problems with DBPR, etc.

Sometimes it feels overwhelming especially when there isn't a proper support group.

There are also a lot of small things here and there.The seller has agreed to fix a lot of things, but is doing himself so there will be no proper or licensed documentation which makes me nervous.

That means becoming an expert  on an area, having a well seasoned team in place to act quickly ( realtor, lender, title and contractors) and having some balls to execute on the  right transaction.

I pair novice investors with seasoned investors and educators so that they can start to learn the industry properly.

The roof was replaced by the previous owner but, I don't believe the flashing for the skylight was replaced/sealed properly.

I have a tenant that complained about a dishwasher being not the best, so I had it replaced.Now they are complaining that the new one doesn't work properly, i.e. the soap isn't dissolving.

We don't allow our tenants to mess with the HVAC and we replace the filters on schedule because tenants rarely do what is required to keep the furnace functioning properly.

When looking for financing in my personal name, even without proper seasoning, I've received decent rates (4.5%) 30 year amortization and 15 year balloon based off of 75% of the newly appraised value.
