Hi AllI am a STR expert but new in the long term rental game.

I'm looking to do a house hack and open to doing STR, mid-term or long-term rentals.

Our focus will be long term buy and hold multi family units.

It can be done and many do it, just realize it will take 3x as long to get going and cost 3x as much.

It doesnt mean its impossible....2 people did it in the last year.

am I legally allowed to keep her last months rent and security deposit?

I see the long term prospects being very bullish for Ft Myers and Cape Coral.  

The Sponsors or GP's who purportedly own large portfolios but paid for a syndication  course last year and are now the Co-GP in their mentors deals.12.

Before long you'll know a bunch of the local players and won't need to share unless you have trouble selling to your list... and then team up again, meet some more investors, list will continue to grow.

Have a few lenders currently that will loan 100% of the purchase price and rehab, as long as the total loan is below 75% LTV.
