@Isaac Hanai I am a multi-family agent and multi-family investor in St.

I'm looking for neighborhood recommendations in the Sarasota area for a short/mid-term single family or townhome investment in the 400k-500k range.

My motivation is to increase my financial literacy and diversify into real estate.I have rented all my life and seek to become a homeowner/ investor to help my family and make their lives easier.

If I was the buyer's broker, I would have checked myself to protect my client.If they had, then they would have found out it was not a three family.

This will help guide your decision opposed to investing somewhere for a novel reason.for example for me it was cash flow, price to rent ratio, land lord tenant laws and availability of multi-families(Just to name a few). 

While I love upstate New York, I get the opinion that most people are here because of work or family and would rather live somewhere warmer.   

A landlord policy can be a commercial policy or a personal lines policy.It's the same as asking if you should buy a single family rental or a 1 unit building.Focus on the coverages and disregard the name of the policy.

Investment Info:Single-family residence buy & hold investment in Stigler.

Investment Info:Large multi-family (5+ units) commercial investment investment.
