@Charlie Gruber this should be a good motivator for you to study the issue, develop a policy, and PUT IT IN WRITING!

Want to start small with some income producing homes and eventually grow into large multifamily.  

Galvanized in the ground will eventually develop rust holes.

I have two questions: 1) I am thinking of buying a second-home in Florida that has yet to be built direct from the developer.

I am looking to put my heart and soul into making whatever property I buy into a place where people want to live and that I can house hack until eventually refinancing and expanding my portfolio.
