Hi all, I'm getting started with mid-term rentals (~60 days) and trying to understand how the Pinellas county transient and Florida lodging taxes work. 

I work as a full-time worship pastor and I I've flipped a few houses over the years and looking to do more deals and move into some buy and holds in the next few years.

If you already have a preliminary site layout showing the size and quantity of buildings you can put on the lot, you should be able to take that work on some budget construction costs and from there work your possible rents into the equation to see if what you have drawn makes sense cost wise, or if there is a more efficient way to lay the site out and reduce costs. 

I can't count how many times lenders try to assign a percentage of ownership to a Trustee when numerous attorneys have explained to them that it doesn't work that way, etc...

A study by Geraci LLP, analyzing data from 125 lending companies, shows that the private lending industry performed significantly better in the first four months of 2024 compared to the same period in 2023.When it comes to short-term loans—like fix-and-flip, construction, and bridge loans—there was a notable increase in production from 2023 to 2024.

Then the bill comes in triple what it was supposed to be for the work done, and it's all our fault.  

The apartment probably could use some cleaning beyond what Tenant A will do but doesn't need any serious work.
