Find a good property manager: If you are planning on adding out of state rental property to your investment portfolio, you should know that managing a rental property out of state is a completely different ballgame than managing one that you can make regular visits to, and you absolutely must work with a reliable property management company.

The biggest problem is getting reliable crews.

Agreed with @Jay HinrichsLots of red flags and no google reviews upon googling...Plenty of reliable and reputable lenders out there on this site as well as a google search away

Can someone suggest me a reliable source of information where to get the historical evolution of house prices in Florida; specifically Broward County (Single Family)?

We have a potential tenant who is very interested in the unit as her mother lives in the same complex and we received a very positive review from her supervisor who not only stated that she has been a reliable employee but is expected to stay with the company for a long time.

Spread out into a few different markets for your short term rentals, and acquire some long term rentals or commercial deals for more steady, reliable cash flow.

Is there one website that has accurate and reliable property tax rates for various areas?

Are there any websites that you use and trust to accurately tell you how safe an area/neighborhood is? I'm having trouble finding a resource I feel great about. Thanks in advance!
