Hey Flavia, the decision about your mom is personal, but you can definitely grow and diversify faster in Florida.

My personal motivations and limitations have made me not consider turnkey, flipping and house hacking. 

(personal and property crime, fatal car accidents and DUIs, registered sex offenders, etc) all in one place. 

I don’t personally own STRs but have friends that do.

Plus your mind fades as you get older and you may not not be able to handle it.

This is why a machine cannot calculate for the irrationality of a person buying a house over value because they like the cute garden. 

The guy messaging me says he will be the primary person of contact and be paying with a credit card for payments.

For example your state's law might require a prior owner who resided in the property to be notified in person but they may not have been able to locate and serve them notice or an interested party may have been notified at the wrong address.

What is your income vs expenses on the personal side.

I personally prefer metal.
