My initial goal was to buy a house using my employment income but now that that has changed i am looking for tips and strategies to purchase a house through my LLC or by paying myself a wage (which wont be that close to what i was making before). 

Any tips on how to go about finding the cap rate in my area for a self storage complex?

Any tips could help!

Also, what are some recommended books that you guys think every investor should read and any tips on getting started in today's market.

Any other tips for investing in those types of higher appreciation potential metro areas but still having some positive cash flow?

My plan is to buy and hold homes in my SW Florida area to make enough cash flow that I don’t have to rely on my W2 income to take care of my bills ( which is property almost everyone’s goal lol ) if there is anyone in my area or even just wants to share a good QUICK TIP I would love to hear your feedback, warnings, funny stories, mistakes, or just stop by and say hello!

We charge clients for a replenishment of hot tub chemicals - usually once per year, as well as $30 per month for pest control. 

Any tips or tricks you wish you knew about before you executed the move? 

If you don't feel comfortable with it, get more education until you do.What I saw as needing further eval: aluminum windows, roof, siding, brush/trees touching house (these help pests travel), cadet heater in kitchen, floors, pipes look galvanized (but closer inspection needed), cabs are old but not necessarily worthless.

I’ve read a bit about looking for budgeting for Cap Ex, vacancy, pest control, property manager (in case I don’t end up living in one of the units) taxes, checking to make sure zoning is right.
