Green. I can take that money and multiply it with other investments.

I have an apartment in St. Pete that I rent out through VRBO. It's been a pretty easy rental as far as attracting guest, except for summer months.
I live in Montana when I'm not in Florida and so I had to set up systems to manage the property. I started with a maid service and now have a handyman and his wife who clean the property and do any required maintenance. I book the properties myself and talk to the guests.
We also have a property in Montana. The challenge is that it's in a small town near the entrance to Yellowstone Park and we do not have a maid service to take care of things. We end up rented it once in a while when we are around to do the cleaning and laundry. My St. Pete property is much easier.
I'd definitely recommend St. Pete. My house is in a more urban environment and I keep it occupied.

Agree with Frederick on the idea of wholesaling. No risk and great returns if you work it.

Great to have you here! I invest in St. Pete. What are you hoping to do as an investor? Wholesale, flips, buy and holds or a combo?

I do investing in St Pete. If you find deals that you want to wholesale would love be to hear about them.

Hi Ryder - I'm a St. Pete investor and have started wholesaling. What type of property are you seeking?

I'm also not familiar with your market, but what I'm finding in St. Pete is that homes in a low end range typically need extensive renovation. Also, does your relative intend to split the proceeds with you on a flip or is he/she charging you interest? You'll want to calculate those numbers into your costs.
No matter which way you go, you'll want to get some pretty tight quotes put together to make sure you're on budget. That's been my number one learning with investment properties. I budget $5,000 for a reno and it ends up being $8,000, that kind of thing.
