I will definitely work on freeing up the next couple weeks.

Just bought my first rental property a couple months ago but I have owned my primary home and worked here for 5 years.

It was a shorter term situation (couple years) and they made lifelong friends in the process.

Wondering if anyone else has had luck.ITs getting tough, but we have found a couple in Oak Cliff. 

Hey-- I have spent a lot of time in Miami growing up and have also done a fair of amount of scouting for AirBNBs in the area.I feel Miami can be a good market, but you'll face a couple of issues:1) HOAs will usually not allow this in any building2) To do it legally, at least on the beach, you will likely need to buy in a Condo Hotel. 

If it's a long term buy and hold it's not a huge deal as long as it produces enough cash flow to be worth it.I would pay a couple hundred dollars for a structural engineering report and take a reputable mason to evaluate it as well. 

Here are a couple ideas for you:comercial properties usually need 25% down and 6 month reserve funds.  

I read the discussion that was posted a couple months ago, but no one mentioned the accuracy of their comps...

I'd make a couple of comments:I use Quicken for all my bills, personal and real estate...I have not written a paper check in years. 

Get a couple other opinions from other agents.
