General question about smokers - Can we charge a flat annual fee to a smoking tenant to run an ozone machine?  

Check in with @Joseph Chiofalo for lender questions, he's a condo guru based in SoFLA.

I'm embarrassed to ask this question but the hell with it, I'm pocketing my stupid ego.

@Johnathon Thompson you need to build a trustworthy local team, which is NOT as easy you everyone thinks.As soon as many PMC's, agents, contractors, etc. hear an owner is OOS, they take the path of least resistance (at best) or look to scam the owner.So, an owner must ask a LOT of questions and do their due diligence and even if they find someone, apply "trust, but verify":)

@Bill B.l B. and @Shawn McCormick thanks for taking the time to answer my question and provide your insights.

That is not an issue.the question is how to coordinate the two sales and one purchase. if it’s too complicated, may just pay the capital gain tax.Quote from @Bill B.: You lost all hope at step 1.

Don't be scared to ask some hard questions and dive into what they need.I will wrap this up with three more examples of purchases in 2024.Last month I bought another mobile home park with nothing down, decent interest, and a ten-year balloon.

I cant tell you how many, "I'm on my way period do you want coffee question mark" texts i've sent since the change.

Did that answer your question?

Before I answer this question, I think it is important to make sure you know what want and can afford.For me, I wanted a property that was pretty much turn key and required minimal updates (painting or adding washer-dryer) as a buy and hold investment.
