What is your income vs expenses on the personal side.

Hi Julianne, Investing in rental properties near a beach in Florida sounds like a great idea, especially if you're looking to combine investment with personal enjoyment during the winter months.

The attorney fees alone for these type of deals are starting at $10,000 per person and every international investor has to invest a minimum of $500,000. 

This is screwing my DTI when trying to purchase a new home as my homestead because all the debt is in my personal report but only 20% revenue.Is there something I can do to change this? 

That's not my cup of tea and also very risky and capex may exceed cash flow if you don't spend enough on rehab up front.My last few personal purchases all involved circumstances that gave me an edge: at this point I look for properties that need minimal work: instead of a 6 months rehab, I already get 5 months of rent.

I've seen limits of 2 people per bedroom, so I imagine I could limit it to one person per bedroom?

Personally I’d sell, if the capital gains after selling costs exceed $80k I’d consider a 1031.
