It's been difficult to find investor-friendly people that I can have confidence in.

Central Florida has become an area where it is difficult to find a deal that cash flow well with ROI above 12%.

As an agent I have worked with a lot of OOS investors and even if I refer them out to my contractors I see how difficult a cosmetic rehab can be for them.

When we purchased the property, the selling bank was very difficult to deal with and absolutely refused to allow us to have any utilities turned on during inspection, and now I can see why. 

In this extremely hot sellers market over the last several years, it is very difficult to find a lipstick deal with enough spread to warrant moving forward with it.

I own a little over 130 units and we do well cash flow wise, however it can be difficult maintenance wise since so many homes are older and the barrier to entry to become a contractor in the state is so low. 

Construction and renovation are never going to go perfect, it is the nature of the unknown - but communicating what's going on seems to be difficult for most GCs.I would be very aware of the payments you've made and be sure not to overpay - that is really your only leverage. 

I don't want the risk of a tenant squatting and it being difficult to evict!

It is going to be very difficult for many of us to continue on as previously with this new website layout.

You didn't mention any kids or difficult life situations.
