@Jaysen Medhurst No number in particular , I was just curious if there were any advantages to owning multiple properties when it came time for the primary and financing!

Ideally, 30 day notice at any time with no early termination fee - particularly in first year.Good luck!

Yes, there are several creative ways you could acquire the property, but I'm not sure listing them here would ensure you earn a decent return on this particular investment.Way more information is needed.You mentioned house-hacking, so I assume your plan would be to live in one of the units and rent out the other.

Not trying to split hairs here, but the difference is important.I think this would make lease options particularly problematic, since they are defining your intent to sell not hold long term.That said, your intent can change.

At the end of your search you should choose whatever product is a better fit for your particular situation. 

Particularly for Cape Coral area.

And like another guy said here why would an investor that has worked extremely hard just let you shadow them and be “around” the office paying $10 bucks an hour often explaining what is being done on a particular deal.

So it's not like they just go live in a RV or something the rest of their life.As for Arizona and Phoenix in particular, we're a huge destination for both boomers and millennials so I don't see inventory increasing because of the older generation retiring. 

With this particular environment of high unemployment, and what I’ve heard about inheriting tenants I’m constantly rerunning numbers.

Is there some website that tracks how fast the inventory for renting is going away in a particular area?
