Do you have an advice on what to look out like road block on zoning or permits durning the process?

Hey BiggerPockets Colleagues,Real estate investing is a journey filled with ups and downs, twists and turns, and, inevitably, some lessons learned the hard way.

Just know that Florida pays some of the lowest rates in the country for travel medical pros so price your unit accordingly and plan to reach out to other guest types to fill the gaps. 

Note: I am not a compliance attorney, and there are more details to this process, but ultimately, you should not be able to invest "tomorrow" with a group you just learned about as a non-accredited investor.

If you have the right people to help you in the process and that will offer you transparent and honest communication, along with all the pros and cons associated with the marketplace, then it can be great.
