All valid points.However if your not a high earner or not a W2 earner or in a partnership where it doesn't make since or the deductions would be more valuable later than now or you make so much money you don't care, are all other reasons that this isn't a one size fits all scenario.

We're a RE investment and management firm, and we have helped a lot of clients set up land trusts, but typically they are just held by FL LLCs, so I'm curious to understand the angle here.Feel free to shoot me a message, I can get you connected with the attorney we always use for land trusts in FL.

Xander, you’re in a really strong spot for 25 — low housing costs, solid income, and already owning a rental...is a big deal.One thing to consider alongside the FHA multifamily idea: if you’re open to roommates, another single-family or lighter house hack could be a simpler next move than taking on a $600k–$800k property with higher debt and maintenance (those 3-level buildings are big lol).The other angle you might want to consider is income growth.

I'd hit the contractor angle first tbh - cruise HD Pro or local lumber yards and ask who their regulars are that flip.

Hello I’m looking to put up one of my properties it’s actually the office I use for our Multimedia production company I’m looking to meet and see if I can find a broker in the area that would be a good fit.

That gives you capital you can redeploy into stronger cash-flow deals later.Cash-flow-focused deals are better if you want stability, lower risk, or income right away.For a first rental, a balanced play usually works best:A property with decent cash flow and a realistic value-add angle.
