This is true regardless of the country. 

So true!

HOWEVER - it may be difficult for the appraiser to access the true value if a large percentage of transactions are not in the MLS.  

While I’m new to the business, I’m eager to learn, grow, and connect with local investors, landlords, and fellow real estate professionals.

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

Absolutely - East Hill is a really popular area for traveling heath care professionals, as well as military on short term TDY orders who are looking for furnished stays.Keys to success for my condo have been keeping the furniture fresh, and not looking like every other listing out there.

Some more options for investors facing similar problems with Beattie, Blacktip, or other builders:1) Contact a real estate attorney to advise you on your options.2) File a complaint with the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR) (more info: https://www2.myfloridalicense.com/file-a-complaint/)3) File a complaint with the Attorney General for the State of Florida (more info: https://www.myfloridalegal.com/how-to-contact-us/file-a-complaint)4) For filing a small claim (under $8,000) in Lee County Civil Court (more info: https://www.leeclerk.org/departments/courts/small-claims)5) Contact WINK News with your story.

Professionals in the real estate industry should not speak in absolute.

Sounds like I am in the right market for what I am looking for both personally and professionally.

Most professionals will recommend a separate LLC for every $1 million in assets, but I don't think that's necessary.
