I've seen some less than favorable experiences posted 3 - 5 years ago.  

I've been working on real estate investments (both multifamily and commercial) for the past couple years and have learned a lot about the process.

If your lease contract is much more thorough and comprehensive than the lease they're on now, you may want to try having the current residents sign a new lease using your contract (you would probably need a mutual termination agreement as well to void out the existing lease; again, I'm not a lawyer, so definitely worth consulting one!).

Usually yes, but there is a "but."

If you are a solid investor focused agent, I’d be game to discuss land development + ground up construction of a well designed building you'll be fine in Fort Lauderdale or anywhere in South Florida. you will probably need more liquidity than existing but the deals are much better. 

That always makes it so much harder to rent, or secure a great tenant.Here's my standard go to list now for long term rental updates:-LVP that looks like wide plank white oak-Ultra Pure white on all the walls-Vertical/ modern stack backsplashes and showers-Pop of color on the cabinets (pop of color can include black too)-Butcher block countertops (lower end) or white quartz countertops (higher end)-Modern light fixtures in brushed brassKeep it neutral still but a couple of style choices with the light fixtures (which are cheap) and it will appeal to the masses.Good luck! 

To increase my capital for investing I have already scaled our 401K contributions back to 6% to take advantage of the company match and aren’t doing any more than that.

You will almost always see a higher nightly rate on Airbnb than on Furnished Finder so I recommend you use both sources to price your property.

You are much more generous than me.

Feels as if it is overloaded with fake wholesalers and noobs who don't know how to calculate rehab and want more than retail for their deals.
