If you are a solid investor focused agent, I’d be game to discuss land development + ground up construction of a well designed building you'll be fine in Fort Lauderdale or anywhere in South Florida. you will probably need more liquidity than existing but the deals are much better. 

Since this is an auction deal I have a hard deadline to close.

Or if it was offered in the competition because that might be a deal breaker for some people if it's not there.

@Shawn Faris this is something every Landlord deals with at some point.

That means you can spend up to $70,000 on the purchase price and renovations and it would still be considered a good deal, according to the 70% rule. 

The best advice I can give you there is not to buy into a deal just to buy into a deal.

I've been an entrepreneur for about 15 years now and since my first adventure as a entrepreneur was in a construction related trade, I consider myself very handy and somehow capable to deal with contractors.

@Anna NevarezTo add to the excellent answer by @David Orr:- Even though you claimed that you provide "hotel-like services" - I'm not sure that you do.

I wanted to open up a conversation about something many of us are dealing with right now—navigating the current interest rates for investment properties.With interest rates having ticked up recently, I'm curious to gather insights and strategies from the community on how you're adapting.

My next goal would be to invest in out of state short term rentals and add those to the portfolio, but not sure how that would impact my LLC if I create a Wyoming Trust/Holding Company/LLCs and foreign file for incorporation into Connecticut to complete the first deal for the duplex, but then what happens when I want to invest in out of state investments deals/opportunities/homes?
