@Dave Foster Thanks! Great point on the strategic counsel, and you are right -- the law is the law.

Currently, I'm looking for a lawyer to help me navigate transferring a title from my parents to me (in SFL).

Does anyone have any recommendations here? When I jump on google or yelp....there are just so many...it's a little overwhelming 0_o

Also, any thoughts on some preliminary questions or filters I should use when evaluating potential lawyers? For example, should they too be a real estate investor?

Thanks! Looking forward to your thoughts!

I'm thinking about turning my SFH into a short-term rental, and I'm curious about what rates everyone is seeing, vacancy rates, seasonality, etc.

From what I can gather 100-250/night during the winter. It's hard for me to tell exactly how booked people are throughout the year...but I know the Canadians love Hollywood and it's always cold there....

Any intel would be great!

Also, I'd love to grab a coffee (or beer!) if you're up for it.

I'm starting my journey in to Real Estate investing, and I'm forming my "team". Any good recommendations on a Lawyer in the South East Florida area?

Hi - I live in New York (originally from Ft.Lauderdale), and I am looking to buy a multi-family investment property back in SE Florida. Does anyone have a CPA that they would recommend?

Is the right strategy to get a CPA in the area you are investing, or in the area you reside?

Thanks!!!

@Aaron Simek welcome to the site. Im glad to see another BP member from NYC. There are a lot of us on this website and if you spend 30 minutes a day on the forums I guarantee you it will pay dividends through connections and opportunities. In addition to looking into NJ also look into CT and upstate NY as they are served with Metro North. You want to make sure that you stay close to a train line as that can help attract potential tenants.

Also be on the lookout for the tristate BP meetups organized by @Darren Sager. If I'm correct there should be one in September if not November.

Hi BP Community,

I am living in Manhattan, looking to invest in a buy and hold property in greater New York and/or New Jersey (pretty much anything within 1-2 hours by train from The City) for some passive income.

I'm originally from Ft. Lauderdale, FL, and I hope to build a portfolio down there too. Most of my connections are in South Florida, but I don't yet feel comfortable doing deals down there with such little experience and such a long distance.

Looking forward to learning and meeting awesome people! I'd love to get together with anyone with similar goals, advice, or jsut for some like-minded conversation.

Real Estate seems so fun! I can't wait to get my hands dirty.
