If you can't look at a prospective property within 24 hours turn in your offer because speed does succeed in most sales.Make sure you know of anything in the building code that is unusual and budget for it.  

I was lucky to purchase a house during the down turn and now sitting on equity i plan to open a helc and start investing.

That means that your mortgage should be no more than about a half of what your rent would otherwise be, because the property's other expenses will also be about half that rent cost too.But if you DO pay market price, and there IS a down turn, you know where that leaves you?

They are all in class A communities and have very to zero turn over in the last 5-7 years.

If someone did something to turn a bedroom into not-a-bedroom, and didn't tell the county, the appraiser is supposed to go off of what is physically present at the time of the appraisal.

I know some of the mediocre craigslist photography was a big turn off for me while I was looking for places to rent, so if you're looking to step your photography game up in between tenants in the Florida Keys (prefer upper and middle keys at the moment, but could be willing to travel to the lower keys for the right opportunity), shoot me a message on here.I would also be willing to help with light cleaning if necessary in between tenants.

Some people have a natural eye for color-for those who don't (90-minute In-Home Color consults range from $95-$350) it can cost you big on the back end by having to repaint if the combo you chose comes off "murky" because your white trim had the wrong base or a popular golden-mustard turns "dirty-diaper" in your lighting.

Then I turn around and sell those leads at a premium to contacts that I know.

I never thought that I'd turn out this way.

But I'm not going to work with an agent unless they have more than just dollar signs flashing in their eyes.
