Foothills area is a great option. 

There are not many multi-family options available in my local area, and the ones that are available are overpriced or the current rent rolls are extremely below market average($200-$400 per unit).

Alternative options include a cash purchase, requiring significant upfront capital, or a hard money loan with higher interest rates.

What are my options at this point as a landlord?

You shouldn't need any umbrella insurance with Proper since they offer everything in one, but you have the option to up the liability as well.  

I know this is a long post but I really appreciate any guidance and help.Anyone in Ft Lauderdale/Miami area who knows a good contractor, I am still open to that option.

There are so many options out there when it comes to joining a firm and online you can't get a real feel of what to expect.

I'm considering options to replace the Task tool.

Hi @Mo Nueman,Depending on what exactly you're doing/looking for, there are a few options.

Do you lean towards traditional mortgages, private lenders, or creative financing options?
