New port Richie, Clearwater, etc.It seems to be a place on could find neighborhoods I may like as well as cheaper housing I can afford to get involved in.I'm in Los Angeles working right now.

I also realize there are risks involved that may be too much for some investors.Jason

PM me if you'd like to talk about your goals or anything else involving real estate.

If there is a break in the lease with the tenant we placed within the first year, the Meridian warranty helps cover that vacancy until we can stabilize the property again.

I mostly invest north west of those areas so I haven't been involved with that.

Looking forward to getting involved.

It's money well spent.Of course, get a tax pro involved.

You can leverage up to 100% of your property with no UBIT due if .....IF there is NO SELLER involvement after the sale.

This was because of 2 things; first, the property management company I had was awesome and took care of everything well enough that I didn't have to get involved outside of electronic communication and 2nd, The lease document I had used was given to me by someone who owned several hundred rental units (in Canada) and was rock solid.

By being involved with him on the property management side of things you will no doubt get into conversations about investing and pick up knowledge along the way.Experience in property management is a great asset even if your ultimate goal is to be an investor and hire property managers in the future.
