I live in the Pacific Northwest and have been investing in real estate here for years, but am considering retiring in Florida.

These instances weren’t even for real maintenance issues, seemingly they were just because of subjective opinions about the property or location.

You can get that experience by working for a commercial real estate developer / owner / operator

Used a real estate agent How did you finance this deal?

I don't know much about real estate so I need guidance on whether to look for a single-family home, a town home, something near colleges, etc. given that I will have a very limited budget.

@Mike DawsonBOI needs to know the owner of the entity so yes it’s you who has to file and provide your id if you own the LLCThe common misconception with Wyoming LLC’s is people think they are hidden it if you do real estate most forget that if you sell a property or get a loan, that document is recorded and your name is all over it - so it’s super simple to find out who owns it.

Landlord/tenant law varies state-by-state, so I would recommend speaking with a local real estate attorney.

It's pretty one sided.During their "inspection period" they will list everything wrong with the property, "real or imagined" and try to get you to reduce your price.

I now am an International Real Estate Mogul.  

But you need to really understand how to run your numbers, your cities property tax rules and how to calculate true future taxes (I see a lot of folks fail here), etc.
