@Brendan Hallissey  Nice Appreciation!

@Jenna Crye has started a nice little meet up that might be worth watching for. 

I am not an expert on this by any means.. there is a fellow in Indy his name escapes me  I think its Ken Myer or something like that.. who is big in this business and he might even have a educational arm to his business.. its probably worth the money to pay to have up front training before you step into this big of investment.I personally see this as buying a on going business not really the rental business.my experience with my unit .. is it was only 44 units.. but really nice ones it was not big enough for on site management.. so if I did this again It would have to be big enough to have on site management to show the units and keep people from sleeping in them and hauling all sorts of garbage into them like a hoarder.Don't do as I say.. but when people didn't pay and went dark ..

(Moderator - I've copied this here from the General Real Estate forum because I think this is a more appropriate location.)Trying to sell a property I own in a nice, acreage neighborhood.

Visit at least 4 properties over the month to seriously evaluate the opportunity (hopefully it will be more than 4, but this is the minimum). 

Other areas to look at would be near Siesta Key, Long Boat Key, etc... they are nice areas with frequent vacationers

He's being nice about it but he told me I need a better contract.

FHA doesn't finance if it has been moved, CONV you can sometimes get by if it has only been moved once, and any more than 1 and I've only been able to get VA financing.USDA only finances MFH in WA state if they are 2006 or newer.Looks like a nice purchase, good luck with the flip!

The Springs are nice as you could treat as fully absentee but still drive by on occasion to see in person.

For example, an investment in western Arizona or southern Nevada may be easier for you to keep an eye on, should you need to or want to visit the property, with only about a 4hr drive.
