Cape Coral can be a promising location for real estate investors, but like any investment, it requires careful consideration of various factors.

Natalie:Location is a big factor in what is of more consideration: cash-flow or {market} appreciation, even if you will be forcing appreciation.In our markets one can anticipate modest appreciation - hopefully ahead of inflation - but we never count on appreciation when underwriting a deal ...

If the above is yes and we would need to pay for title insurance anyways, then I assume it would make sense to move these under an LLC- Are you aware of any watch-outs or other considerations we should factor-into our decision?

Or should I start factoring the expense of a PM? 

I ask because last year when I categorized my expenses I listed fees for hospitable as a management fee and my CPA told me I cannot have management fees if I am doing the STR loop hole.

Make some friends with investors here and around your area, find some deals for them, and charge them a wholesaling fee.

This helps you to make a decision and form an opinion on whether the tenants risk factor.

My guess is the title insurance is set at a fixed rate but the title attorney could be adding a lot of excessive junk fees.

. - BUT that also had them putting 25% down on purchase - so in this instance the ARV was not the factor for the loan it was the acquisition price and rehab costs.

Many landlords only use PMs for tenant placement (leasing fees) and handle the rest themselves.
