Hope you enjoy both Sarasota and BP as both tend to be very friendly!

The HOA on the townhomes tend to be lower with less fluctuation.

As a result, the minimum investments tend to be higher.

I also think we'll have a more limited pool of buyers and no chance at a bidding war as we tend to price conservatively. 

Even the best of tenants tend to focus on their new residence and the move and overlook their move out responsibilities

As the income becomes self supporting people tend to seek a hands off approach and look for a property managment company to take over.  

Our cash-on-cash returns tend to be 25% - 30%, and with all the depreciation that's nearly entirely tax-free.My 2 cents worth,-Jefferson-

I tend to google many of my questions which often leads me to these forums and so I finally decided to join, specifically for networking and education.I'm a full time investor looking for flip properties and I intend to get into rental properties in about a year.  

Spring and Cypress tend to be a little over 3%

I just wanted to get some feedback on some of the inputs I have been using (the areas I invest in are typically made up of minimum wage renters)- I tend to be very conservative in my analysis, so I use a vacancy rate of 88%.
