We live in the panhandle (PCB, FL) but are interested in exploring the greater Tampa/Sarasota market!

A lot of my out-of-state clients have closed on their off market flips and BRRRR deals with the help of wholesalers.

Background - I'm in the southern Kentucky market and that's where the land is located.

There are also additional costs of operating and maintaining an LLC, like separate bank accounts, annual report filings, tax filings, etc.2.

Rookie investor here looking to purchase and house hack my first property in the Charlotte, NC market. 

My goal is to focus on purchasing small multi-families to self manage with a STR/ MTR hybrid model in the Central FL market.

In my market, I could easily get quotes ranging from $150ish-$500 per foot, depending on the contractor, their team and specialty and how much of a sucker they thing I am. 

Furnishing is usually 12k per bedroom - it's also shown in rei-lense.Since you're going to use it yourself it might qualify as a second home and get a better rate.HOA is always a risk as they can limit the renting options available at the moment or come with additional expenses.And, to get the most of AirBnB you'll need to put some more into it.

So why would you pull your STR off the market for a year and make less money for a (now) tenant that you know nothing about...?

In those instances you can purchase the new property in 'cash' position and do not have to get an additional mortgage.
