Then I begin to research the industry.

Transparency and professionalism are core to how we operate, and we ensure all properties have clear, insurable titles before closing.

@Ana Escudero Property insurance renewals have been challenging the past few years, but there’s some stability with carriers heading into 2025.

Insurance actually yes my other subto just renewed on the 10th.

Ensure you collect a proper security deposit (typically one month's rent in Florida) to cover potential damages.Your plan to increase rent next year makes sense given rising costs (taxes, insurance, and maintenance).

A young population plus a growing industry makes for good long term investments, but unless you are really scaling the cashflow can be hit or miss. 

Out of my 32 properties, I’ve seen insurance rates drop by up to 40% on renewals, and property tax increases are finally slowing down compared to the crazy jumps we saw over the last five years.

This is usually due to a credit score below the industry desirable score of 680 for a Commercial Loan.

Is your DSCR ratio greater than 1-meaning are you cash flowing (according to the lender's criteria of mortgage, property taxes and insurance (and HOA) if applicable).

@Chris Morris have ALWAYS seen bad "deals" from rookie wholesalers that really don't understand what they are doing to provide value to the industry.It's getting worse because the real estate market has recovered from the 2010 Crash, yet many are still using tactics & methods developed during this time.Everyone in the industry needs to go back and look at what was being done BEFORE 2010 and start using those methods, updating them with current technology.
