Interesting opportunity kind of fell in my lap.

@Alison S - It depends if you want to go for the closing and how often you would like to visit.

What kind of advice can I get from the marketing and wholesale community to get their attention and make this happen for the right number?

As an investor a 10% return wouldn't compensate me for that kind of risk as I'd be inheriting the problem if it was a bad deal OR only getting a 10% return if its a good deal (i.e. no upside)Not criticizing you - just curious on your response to that issue. 

However, I do not take kindly to people that lie to me, so if they are just saying that to get out of paying extra then I would for sure charge them. 

Understanding City Building CodesThis kind of tags along with construction but I didn't know ANYTHING about the city permits/inspection process.

So I can pay cash for the next deal and get out from under interest payments, or do I keep them as a slow burn, unfortunately I'm kind of tapped out while I have these two places, and any other house purchasing would have to come from the profits off these places.

This would allow my family to continue to visit me and when they leave I can continue with Airbnb.

Living in Florida flood insurance is kind of a stable.

I'm presuming your hoa is about $250 a month, which is roughly $50k in regards to a monthly mortgage.Also, definitely check out any kind of smart thermostat if you don't already have one.
