Is there any areas in FL that seem like they could be great opportunities for long term holds?

Red River Gorge (RRG) ranks among the top short-term rental (STR) markets in the country, a fact backed by third-party data.

One last idea, if you are on friendly terms with your neighbors, offer a gift card, dinner or (fill in the blank) in return for cutting up your tree and hauling it.

Are there institutions with better terms like longer payoff period, interest only, no minimum draw, or something else I'm not thinking of? 

@Karim WahbaSetting up a fund vs syndication for flipping homes comes down to scale and structure.Syndication: Typically involves a single asset, which can be stupidly expensive in terms of cost/time for just one flip unless it's a high-value property.

We manage all of our own medium-term rentals, but would never do an STR.

If you have any questions, please feel free to send me a private message.With solid financials, a Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR) program sounds like a great fit*

You are a beginner in REI – so get started first, accumulate some equity, get some serious cashflow going, get some experience with managing real estate, figure out you want to do this long term…and then worry about how to layer an LLC cake.

Even if you take a loss on your investment by getting out, it's probably better to part on good terms than having to lawyer-up.  

First off, I would lose the term "elderly" and refer to it as seniors, senior living, etc.
