With careful research and a solid plan in place, it's possible to succeed as an Airbnb investor in Crystal River or any other location.

My plan is to purchase single family homes and rent them out using the BRRRR method.  

@Jake Posner- thanks for the post ...if you plan on needing financing for the rental proeprty - make sure to get  fully pre approved  for the hypotehtical  scenario you are planning ...use a loan officer or lender that is licensed is all the states  you are looking at . thanks 

I always have family and friends giving me negatives like " what is it doesn't rent" or who is going to "pay that much for rent" or "what if the tenant burns the house down" are these realistic situations and how do I prepare and understand to to come back if anything like this happens how do I plan ahead.3. should I go for a newer house with little to no rehab for 415,000 or something like 350,000 with like 10-20 in rehab?

If you start your own firm, I would plan on 60-70 hour weeks for the first 5 years or so. 

It is actually currently a rental property (purchased in 2017), I am planning to move into it for 2 years as our primary residence, make some improvements and then convert it into a short term rental. 

Hello All, I am not sure if there is a rule of thumb to how much a design should cost but I received an estimate of $23K for Civil engineering work (site plan, storm drainage plan, site grading, soil erosion & utility plan), $25k for  Architectural and structural and $11K for MEP for 12 units townhouse (2 bed and 2.5 bath) on a slab. 

While I'm actively exploring various avenues to improve our financial situation, I keep running into dead ends.

We are always looking at ways for more financial freedom!

Does anyone have any experience with Rehab Financial Group based out of PA?
