But let's not forget the importance of cash flow, and the impact of federal state and local taxes on our assets and cash flow also. 

After spending a few days on the island and speaking with locals/expats it was confirmed that the lots Remax are selling in Secret Beach are swamp land.

I would love to connect with everyone in the local area and state.

I do have questions into a local lawyer, trying to understand my options.

You want to find a reliable worker for these things inside local Facebook groups by seeing who others have used.

I have two young kids under 4 and manage 6 doors locally.

I wouldn't think so, but I would make it a point to be well versed in your local laws. 

I am hoping to use a local credit union to get a better rate + pament terms.for capex/vacancy etc. what %tage of my monthly rent should I take into account?

This is if you do all the management yourself, (basically buying yourself a part time job), ar good at marketing and interior design, and if your local government doesn’t flip the switch and ban STR or limit the ways you can use it. 

Try going to local meetups and say the same thing you did in this post.
