Hey  @Theo SengI would just make sure you guys have things clearly mapped out before getting going for real. for example, who gets to call the shots when one person wants to sell and the other doesn't?

“So I'm gonna get your property under contract for $2,000 but sell it for $5,000.

Is is stuck with the properties that created it and I only get to use it against those properties when they have income or I sell them?

As the broker of Investing N Florida, we specialize in selling, managing, and understanding the regulations for short-term rentals in the Tampa Bay Area.How about we grab coffee sometime and chat about the exciting opportunities in the market?

@Brandon Morgan get your finances in order for down payment then call small existing facilities asking if they will sell

This also makes me wonder if I should ever engage a broker when I want to sell my property in the future?

Then I'll renovate it & sell it for more (flip the home).

Its the regular consumer that buys/sells a handful, at most, homes in their lifetime.

Motivation to sell ideally will get you into these properties at a lower cost basis which means more cash flow and equity.

Unfortunately, we bought the home when the rates were at all time lows, so selling or refinancing are not at all ideal at this time (I have been living in the home, she never ended up moving in, I'd prefer to stay with or without her at this point).
