I’m a newbie looking to get into the world of multi family rentals on Long Island NY.

I owned a couple of SFH vacation rentals in Marco island and the rental income did not leave cash flow since expenses were so high on that island.

Scranton is definitely attractive since it is a drivable distance from Long Island where I live.

The property was full of stuff, it was a hoarder house, but we were able to power through and do a complete floor plan change, relocate the kitchen to make it one big open space with a huge island & it came out beautiful!

Since I've used them about a dozen or so times here is my experience.They have put me on an island a number of times.

Example:Emerald Island did not plan for future expansion of their pool/amenities.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a contractor/handy man on Galveston Island? 

I self managed my STR on Galveston Island from a distance and did very well. 

I recall one where buyers raved about the "designer" center island and wondered if it was Italian granite, lol.

I am in FL as well up in Pinellas County but Treasure Island Beach and just north of me in places like Spring hill, New Port Richey, and Citrus County there are some great investment properties.There are a lot of Fixer uppers or Fix & Flips in Largo, Clearwater and in St.Pete.
