Oh, I'm also a native Floridian, currently living about as far east in Orlando/Orange County as is possible and still be deemed to be living in Orlando.

My recommendation is to work with an accountant who specializes specifically in real estate taxation and takes a proactive, year-round approach rather than reacting after the fact.

@Jakob Mikhitarian Thanks for sharing, I'm a NH native and attended one of Exiter's rivals KUA. 

While confirmation still lies ahead, markets are already reacting to the prospect of less Fed accommodation, with stocks and Treasuries both lower and the dollar higher as investors price a more disciplined policy regime.

Here’s our current reality: We’re not physically in the US, so we can’t personally oversee renovations or react instantly on-siteWe don’t qualify for conventional financing and rely on hard money lenders (around $13K all-in per deal, including interest + origination)We’re not present in REIA meetups or local investor communities, where wholesalers, contractors, and key operators naturally connectBecause we’re remote, we can’t confidently “self-manage” or optimize rehab costs the way a local investor can  Because of this, we feel we need larger spreads to justify a flip.

Am I overthinking this / over reacting?

When you come in town, spend time driving the areas your team recommends at day and night and ask your PM what tenant profile they get there and what their turn costs look like on an average make ready.I’m a native of Indianapolis, born and raised, and I’m also an investor and lender running IEC Services, based specifically around the Indianapolis market.

I can put real, actionable paths in front of you fast, so you’re not stuck reacting, guessing, or waiting around.

The moment you’re reacting instead of running systems, it’s time to get help—even with MTRs.

I don't get to control how clients react or what they choose to say.
