A new kitchen on the first floor.

Does anyone know what the landlord is supposed to do when construction will be occurring on the premises? 

Many investors wonder why they can't take the first or the next step, but the reason is usually not as related to real estate or analysis paralysis as they think.

Anthony,I am in St.Pete as well and Congrats on the REI sucess! 

Hi Jason,Welcome to the community!

Hi everyone,I hope you're doing well and enjoying the fall weather.

I am looking to begin my family’s real estate investing journey in the next 1-2 years as we save up for the purchase.

He talks about how you can purchase a rental property, manage it as a short term rental during the year you acquire it, do a cost segregation study, use those "losses" to significantly reduce your taxable income that year, and then turn the property into a long term rental in the following year. 

Could someone please advise an actionable step or game plan I can follow to tap into my equity correctly (if that makes sense here) whether that's HELOC, Cash-Out or another strategy?

The longer the tenant stays, the more you collect.I manage 400 rentals and I have only had one animal damage a home more than the deposit would cover.
