@Kevin DuongShort-Stay Rentals (STR) can bring in a lot of cash but also come with high costs for when guests come and go and tough rules.

My experience was getting my personal credit utilization high as I bought product for my business, and subsequently my FICO went low; therefore financing was increasingly difficult. 

I am undereducated on most other states but I imagine CO, CA, TN, NY etc all have thriving locations as well, just unsure about their regulations and returns especially in the high tax states.

What the law does do is create tenants in perpetuity which means I can't decide I don't want to continue to rent to a tenant who has lived in the property for over 12 months and tell them to move at the end of their lease.

I am planning either a 3-story 27 unit apartment building OR if I can purchase the combined 0.8ac parcels on each side of me, construct a gated condo community with end to end road access.

During that year we had 2 offers yet they backed out of the deal at the end.

If I jump to the end of this story first, I will tell you that at 7% interest and high market values, very little cash flows well when you take into consideration principle, interest taxes, insurance, and a $100 maintenance reserve… at least where I live in Florida - but we have really high insurance rates.  

Regarding the cabinets, do you see how the lower edge of that cabinet on the end is looking like it is a bit warped or peeling?
