@James MckinnonTeal estate already has tax advantages-I don’t usually turn rental income from passive to earned income because it is an automatic 15% self employment tax. in addition, you are talking about asset protection.

When you sell it, you don't earn as much ss MFH.  2nd, let's say you put 100k depsosit and borrow 250k for condo. 

They would have to be a true magician to earn that money.

We would be able to consistently add capital to our investment portfolio yearly, let's say $10k per year.Some strategies that have peaked my interests are SFH or small multi-family BRRRRs, short term rentals, trade up into large multi-family, rental debt snowball, etc. 

It’s definitely a personal decision, but I would suggest 6-12 months of reserves somewhere it doesn’t have to be in a checking account earning 0%, but you don’t want to end up in foreclosure if the AC breaks the same month as the tenant moves out.

Realtors want to close sales and earn a commission.

There is a lot of due diligence that goes into this, as you are potentially putting in your hard-earned money.

A lot will depend if there is going to be a second storm in the wake of Ian, peak hurricane season is still on at least until end of October. 

Buy advice would be to make any turnkey company really earn your business.
