Private money is good for maybe acquisition but not construction due to the draw process . 

You can do most of the screening process and background check part from afar and get a new tenant set.

Should I include cabinets/shelving or just leave the room bare with just the hookups so whoever buys it can design it how they want?

Rinse and repeat, and in five to seven years, you could have a handful of properties.It's not a fast process, so keep your head down and put in the work. 

However there will always be props that go through the full process that will never change.Very much agree on the FLA condo situation very scary for owners and debt holders I have to think.

I grew up going there many years as a kid and it would be nice to designate some blocks to bring back more SFH along beach side vs towers everywhere.

These are the steps as an agent I take to be fully vertically integrated throughout the buying/listing process.

I want to be able to assist people from every standpoint within the home buying/living process.

When I go to pay the bill, I do it online and select the purchases for 1 single rehab and pay those from the designated checking account. 

I just purchased my first rental property and am in the process of looking for a good PMC to manage it.
