so most of of us on BP should be OK...

@Nina PenuelaOne of the things we have seen, specifically in Ohio and Indiana is local building authorities target out of street owners with ridiculous fines and make life miserable.Had one where the porch light was out and charged a $50 fine.Another one claimed grass was not cut because it rained for 1+ week and did a $400 fine.

I’m looking for residential multi-family’s in the the Tampa Bay Area, so that includes mostly all surrounding cities.  

I have a gutted carriage house on the back of my property, so my thought is to get my feet wet with house hacking by creating space for a longterm tenant. 

Some markets are so saturated a house may bring in more as a LTR than an STR.

We wouldn't have to dive too deep and could issue you a preliminary term sheet pretty quickly, so you know what you're possibly looking at. 

You mention 1031 so I will say: in a 1031 you never hold the proceeds from the sale in your own account, that would violate the rules of the 1031 

So, here is my take on use of remote entities.  

We have guests there from 3 to 15 days at a time and it is way out in the boonies so there isn't much of chance at this happening.I don't agree with shorter stays causing more problems.

“So tris and quads should be hard-wired.
