I know it has only been a few weeks but I am considering them for a small investment with the one rate plan, as well.  

Anyways, I'm interested to know if anyone else out there, especially in the South FL area uses Smarter Contact as well.

Advantage being that you do not have to make a contingent offer if you find a house you really like....and/or it gives you time to move leisurely instead of in a rush.Anyone used this?

There are no restrictions on duration of rental from the HOA other than the unit cannot be rented as a STR/Airbnb.

And it's in high demand everywhere due to high inflation and people not being able to afford housing these days.

Should I send a notice out to my current tenants that their rent would be raised to $1400/m effective Nov/Dec 1st and if they can’t do it that they would need to leave by then? 

I also plan to run paid ads as well but would like to start with the website.

If you can take out lines of credit on other properties you own, I prefer that to going the hard money/private lender route, because it tends to be significantly cheaper.

Any insights or recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

I'm over on the West Side of the state so wouldn't be able to do a meet up in Detroit but I know there are some Detroit agents around so just keep monitoring this thread and I'm sure you'll get some participants soon
