An elderly lady who owns rentals next door to me has moved away since her husband passed. 

Currently, I have a 4-plex in Texas which I purchased in 2020 (FHA loan that is now entirely a rental property) and manage independently. 

Been an investor since 2022 where we got our first turn-key rental.

I'm thinking of investing in a property in Miami (Edgewater area) for short term rentals.

The after-repair value (ARV) is projected at $428,000, potentially reaching $477,000 if sold individually.Two houses require rehab, while two are rental-ready.

I’m not an investor (yet) but as an agent and having been in property management for a number of years, I can say that Taccoa’s rental market is pretty cold right now with only a few rentals currently on the market and a median rent price of $1200-$1300/mo.

I had brought this up with my realtor that I use for rentals in a different area and she gave me the link for home testing and basically said I have to do it and don't have a choice so I'm very glad to hear from others it's actually not like that at all!

How would you connect the leak detector to Wifi in a rental?

Houses are designed/built as rental hardened so minimal repair/maintencance for at least 15 years.

There is also a relatively minor issue of recapturing depreciation on the rental portion.
