$960,000 / .08 % = $12,000,000Most people with $12,000,000 are not going all in on Real Estate.  

But what a lot of people don't know is that if you have owned your property for say 5-10 years - all that deferred appreciation your county tax appraiser has been tracking all those years - but not able to pass it along to you due to the caps on increases - goes out the window.  

So many people get suckered into these "deals". 

Get your pulse on the area market by looking at STR calendars and possibly talking to realtors and other people in the market.

Some people are not worth the headaches. 

All I can tell people is that REI has been very good to me.

I can’t say this never works—plenty of people have done one or more deals this way.  

But, I agree that there is not enough chasing away or direct questioning of people who post questionable stuff, and I think it is easier to be just plain old mean from behind the safety of anonymity. 

I guess people love the manatee habitat there!

Starting slowly but love the idea of meeting like minded people who are passionate about helping others and pursuing freedom.
