But if its a strong offer just play it out. 

Just be ready for the ride...it’s not always smooth sailing, but if you play it right, those jitters can turn into some seriously sweet returns.And if you do end up jumping on a short-term rental in Tampa Bay, just pick up the phone and let's dig into it.

Likely would want to close on 11/28 at the latest to play it safe as the notice takes affect the next day, not the day it was served. 

I’m brand new here, got the recommendation to join this site through a book I listened to on the way to work today.

1. coaching- all of the "coaches" were newbies themselves with about 1 year of experience and about 1 deal under their belts and they always disappear after 2-3 months and get replaced with new "coaches".2. networking- they have a FB group, populated primarily by other newbies. go there to answer questions, and it's likely you'll get other newbies saying "good question". there are lots of newbies hoping to get into a deal, but who wants to put together a team where every single person is brand new with no experience?

Hustle and drive play a significant role in this too. 

If nothing else, put a few dollars in for giggles - most of us on here can afford to “play” with a little cash (whether that is $50 or $50k depends on you) Why on earth wouldn’t you play with something that can potentially triple your money in a week or two?

The "high cash flow areas" you speak of are only good on paper, and while they can be if you play everything right and all goes well, I find that is harder than it seems.

BUT, it's an appreciation play. 

Then divide that cost by the amount of time between now and then and that's how much you should be putting aside for Capex.For general maintenance, the age and condition of the building will play into that.
