I currently own 1 properties that im living in(single family home).

( both new builds and or rehab properties) I was not able to find any, rent to retirements has some in Ocklahawa which is kind of close to Ocala…but from what I read on the forum Ocklahawa is a lot more rural than Ocala, and not appreciated as much, is this true ?

I've been looking at and making offers on duplexes and some single-family homes for about 6 months now.

My husband was born in St Croix and has alot of family there.

Find the person that is a best fit for you.

You can easily do this on a spreadsheet, and it will take less time to track than finding and learning new software.

What I've done for our quest outside the USA is to find the best local real estate agent in the area I'm looking in.

I'm not worried about finding the next deal or anything and as far as management goes, Florida doesn't require any license for self managing.

Whether it will increase interest rate, make it more difficult to find a lender, etc.

Looking through your past posts, you have done housing, multi family.
