The closet systems are nice, but remember the more moving parts you have, the more things there are to break and maintain.

I am fairly active still and make it out to the area at least 6 times/year, but I am buying distressed assets.

But with rising CLI (cost of living index), property taxes and insurance, I have fallen behind the FMR (Fair Market Rent). 

I have enough for up to a 20% down payment but that would stretch my finances fairly thin.

I'm a fairly new RE Investor in Central Florida looking to find my first deal.

Can you put a few small plants (I used fake that looked fairly real) in those bump-out windows with shelves? 

If they need a special assessment for painting, they aren’t charging enough for monthly dues.....it costs money to maintain things...you’ll pay one way or the other.

@Tom Gimer  frankly most of my reversals were last second BKs but I had my fair share of reinstatements.I mean heck I used to do it to the competition at least 2 to 4 times a month..

Also the requirements to maintain are a little bit less onerous than a corporation. 

But for now, the market is actually active and fairly hot for what we are used to and getting a lot of attention.I haven't seen it yet, but with the rising prices, I can't imagine the BAH won't be going up soon (it's gone down in recent years), plus will put pressure on rents to rise as well, making SFH and MFH rentals more attractive.
