I can text his number to you on the number listed here. His name is Robert Boulay. Tell him I referred you if you call him. My wife is an RE agent also and he handles our personal investments and also her S-Corp taxes and issues.

We use a great guy in Jacksonville Beach that I would recommend, but not sure what your specific needs are.

I believe Capital gains tax enters the picture here....better see a CPA, not a lawyer! Unless he's a tax lawyer. I think capital gains is 15%....but time held determines short or long term tax....I am neither a tax expert, CPA or lawyer.

We bought one for a rental and immediately covered it with laminate.

Hi Mike,
I was in your shoes once and living in the UK. I have since "retired" to NE Florida and have several SFH's that we keep steadily rented due to strong rental market right near NS Mayport. Navy folks coming and going are a great rental pool! My wife is a local RE agent, so if you would like to reach out, feel free.
Good luck!

German roaches require multiple trips within a couple of weeks, not months and persistent treatment until gone. Find a GOOD bug guy that knows how to get rid of them. We were successful after a couple of visits. Good luck!

I can tell you from personal experience that even some vacation areas restrict Airbnb and short term rentals. We live at the beach in Florida and received a cease and desist order from the city when they discovered somehow that we were operating an AIRBNB. Seems that anything under 90 days is forbidden. We operated for a year before we learned this.

Luke...there is a meeting tonight at Embassy Suites Baymeadows at 5:30 of Jax Teal Estate Investors of Florida. Seems like it might be a good opportunity for you to meet some like minded folks. I was hoping to make it myself, but won't be able to because of some work commitments that will run late today.
I know BofA won't.

If there is a good GIS map in place at the county level, you can search tax records and compare tax billing addresses to local address snd figure it out that way. Takes a bit of sleuthing, but i've done it and it works well
