A lot of builders have great deals on paper, and then the project drags too long and eats up most of the margin right now.  

STRs follow different rules than long-term rentals, so it’s smart to plan ahead.

Cash flow pays bills, and appreciation grows wealth.If your goal is long-term financial independence, then you need a rental income that increases faster than inflation and will last throughout your lifetime.

I already have a SFH for long term rental in Orlando.

Sometimes people start with a simple long term rental to get comfortable with remote ownership and build equity steadily.Just curious, are you leaning more toward building cash flow right away, or do you see this as a long term equity play to start compounding?

Seemingly there isn’t a ton of difference as long as you got a report.  

Not the long term take out, but in aquisition.

I don't know that we are in the bottom (I thought 2008 was close to the bottom, but *boom* 2009 and 2010 made me long for 2008, again). 

I value transparency, consistency, and learning from those ahead of me.I’m looking to:Network with experienced investors across Miami-Dade and South Florida.Learn best practices for evaluating deals, negotiating, and structuring wholesaling as a true business.Build long-term relationships with cash buyers who want steady access to off-market deals.What I bring:Strong research and problem-solving skills (tech/cybersecurity background gives me an OSINT edge for skip tracing & lead research).Persistence, adaptability, and a hunger to learn.A collaborative approach — I work with two dedicated partners so we can cover all angles of the business (research, seller contact, and buyer relations).My mission:Close my first few wholesale deals this year, reinvest into better tools and education, and become a trusted connector between sellers and buyers.

We are most focused on long term investing.
