I recommend buying a 5x8 trailer with a ramp on it- worked well for me. Its low so you can easily wheel things up it and carry large items. Plus any scratches or dirt are no issue. When you are done you can just park it. If you really need a truck rent a uhaul or home depot. Best thing is you can always turn around and sell the trailer for close to what you paid.

My tenants use Zelle - through BOA. You get a text message when they send it each month. Works great.

I am selling my multi unit in New England to purchase units down your way. Be curious to share ideas with you on locations etc.

I purchased a multi-family in a rougher area of Boston when I was 25. It was in very bad shape. I am very handy and did a long term sweat equity renovation. My tenants love me, but I am sick of the area and burnt out. Flash forward 8 years, I have decided to sell - house goes on the market in a week. I left my job a few months ago to make some life changes, including moving to FL - So I will soon have a chunk of cash, but no verifiable income for x amount of time until I find something. Curious what others would do in terms of starting over? What type of property would you look for?  Assume 250k cash and no job/income.

I'm in the same boat. I'm 33, very handy DIY. I bought a multi about 8 years ago and did the long term sweat equity route. I'm putting my place on the market (it goes live in 2 weeks) and I'm going to cash out. I'll be moving to Florida and buying asap down there. I would be interested to discuss your/our goals.
