I do not have time to work on a property (or even fly out for closing, etc).

It's like handing someone a plane, a tank of fuel, and a "Piloting for Dummies" book and wondering why they can't figure out how to fly a plane on their own. 

I am flying out end of May/beginning of June.

I think part of this is people are wanting to do driving isolated vacations rather than flying to busy destinations.

We lived there for 12 years and the sand flies (gnats) are unreal.

I absolutely aspire to be a part of a few GP teams doing the investor relations end and raising what I can in the near future, but feel like I have to have a very solid relationship with them, fly to the markets and check out the building/area and get a VERY solid picture of what’s going on, meet the rest of the team in person for lunch, take like 6 months to build a relationship with them and kinda date them in a way etc. before considering working even working together….I know some of that is probably overkill but it is just my initial thought from a core value and genuine relationship building standpoint and if I am confident putting my investors capital as well as my name & reputation on the line.

After that, just put money away and look to buy into cheaper markets...and STR/MTR if you want to stay in south FL. I

The years are flying by, but when Wynwood was the Little San Juan, it was just as bad as Liberty City or maybe more similar to the way Allapattah is now.

Hell, even when I lived in FL, I wouldn't rent a place that didn't have a pool.

I know that I may be leaving money on the table but I don’t see myself flying out & looking at every property.
