The numbers are tight at current rents (although we will always feel like we're winning since we are owner occupying the property and instead of paying rent to a landlord we will be paying very low monthly rent (to ourselves), if any, as well as benefitting from ~$1,000 per month in loan amortization and potential for appreciation).

The inspector came back out 5 days later, but it was 3 days after my deadline for inspection negotiations.

The bad news is close doesn't count with the 36 month deadline.

The foundation can be treated with a water tight sealer that will keep water out, unless there are larger cracks or other issues to deal with.

Inventory is very tight right now and it is hard to even book a showing because the units are full all the time with vacationers, but still a great time to buy and take advantage of Disney's 50th celebration and the entire planet is itching to take a vacation and we are the #1 destination in the world.Look forward to hearing from you, Good Luck

The numbers are tight. 

Being put in a tight spot and considering payments have been coming in I said OK, but she needs to be screened.I setup the preventive maintenance appointment with the sister after getting her number.

I'm a new investor and first home owner looking for a property at around 200-300k for studio/1bd or up to 400k for 2bd.My goal is to live in FL for at least 1 year (living in Miami already) and then rent the property out and have a decent return on it.I'm getting pre-approved and ideally would move in around August (tight timing, but I'm trying it).I've been doing a fair amount of research, but I'd be happy to find a good investor-friendly realtor that could walk me through the prospect of the investment and finding a good deal.I would love to share the process with the broader community!

One of our concerns is that what happens if the buyer does not finance in 6-12 months and is still sending us payments... can the contract be written so that the deadline to bank finance is the absolute deadline?

Inventory is pretty tight so it’s important to at least know where you want to buy and who your team is helping you buy/sell/1031.
