I did have the rental portion separated on my schedule E, so I think Ashish nailed it with his response.

The latest one I received today was a person that wanted to know if I was interested in the VA service.

Multis feel more like a house and you have one person living with you (or 2 or 3 depending on duplex, trip, or quad), whereas an apartment complex has more amenities, but people sharing walls everywhere.

I personally do hard money lending and investing in the city.  

Your cap ex and management will likely to be factored in and are you planning on seeing these in person.

I have let the right people aware of scotts rudeness. please understand we make no acceptance of his behavior, it wasnt personal its just a sales mentality issue.He is new, Myself have been with PD 18 mos but have 30 yrs selling, and 20 yrs in real estate.

@Troy Fisher was very helpful with providing a good contact and I had a 30-minute conversation with the person.  

Still looking for personal references based on 1st hand experiences, something to go on, but I have filled out the form and requested info for a couple.Thanks much!

Hi Julianne, Investing in rental properties near a beach in Florida sounds like a great idea, especially if you're looking to combine investment with personal enjoyment during the winter months.

Obviously the key to a successful flip is to find solutions for the distressed person.
