There are hidden costs in all strategies in real estate.

It would be wise before taking a step forward into an investment strategy, speak with your husband about what you are trying to accomplish by investing in real estate.

I just changed my strategy in real estate.

I've made the decision to move ahead and really start developing a business plan/strategy and to begin engaging with the BiggerPockets community and my local REI community.

Do you have any thoughts on perhaps a Seller finance strategy for this property? 

I have yet to purchase a rental property myself because of this market but will keep watching in the coming months, especially with prices stabilizing a bit.In terms of leveraging your primary residence, this is a valid strategy to use.

Start reading through the forums on here and get to know all the different strategies.

The podcasts are a great way to learn (the most recent one is with a guy from Maryland, so something that would definitely interest you).Learn, define your strategy, goals, and of course, take action!

I would like suggestions on which incorporation vehicle is best for me in Florida  I currently have a FL LLC to use for making hard money loans or flipping properties.  

As for flipping, that is usually an early strategy for people with a buy and hold mentality and is used to build up funds to buy properties.
