Like for me I have a business I enjoy that produces active income I don't see myself stepping out of anytime soon, so I am prioritizing the nicer areas/properties that might not cash flow as much right now but will in the future and provide me with good depreciation to offset active income right now.Just such a personalized thing that doesn't have a one size fits all approach.  

I understand if this person is renting the whole apartment unit, but how does the ESA works out in shared housing?

Once I got beyond 5 properties I personally stopped budgeting for capex.

I have a few partners, but went over budget and personally funded the remaining construction costs.  

Feel free to reach out if you have any other questions.

As an investor and agent in the Florida gulf coast, I just like the feel of Destin and what it offers more than Gulf Shores for the STR market. 

If you have any questions or need further clarification, feel free to ask!

I feel like I need to stay and supervise every second to make sure personal property is protected.

I thought about going back after the flipper and having them rectify the situation, but ultimately feel that it was my responsibility to check during the due diligence phase and I didn't (smh).
