Lease-options can work, but they need to be structured carefully — especially in Florida.A few things to be aware of:First, a lease-option isn’t just a “regular lease with a handshake.”

I work with STR property management companies and regular property management companies and never heard of either types of management companies setting up a triple net lease with an investor for a 1-4 unit property.

I regularly source off-market and wholesale flips through my local boots-on-the-ground team and work not just in the area, but across Ohio, so we can pivot to wherever the best margins are.

To our regular sources...I thank you...you seem to be rarer and rarer these days. 

Are there any regular meetups, networking events, or investor groups you'd recommend?

There are a TON of social media groups dedicated to investors, and many have regular events where they connect for breakfast or after hours at a local watering hole.

Build Your 3-Person Local Team FIRSTBefore writing any offers, lock in:• A local agent/investor agent who regularly works flips• A GC or renovations estimator• A hard money lender that lends in BaltimoreThose three people determine 90% of whether your flip succeeds.3.

So whatever profit you make gets taxed at your regular rate, possibly with self-employment tax.

I'm not a PM software expert, but I'd check out Hostaway along with all the regulars like Buildium, Doorloop, Rentredi, etc. - Time Capital Bookkeeping (REI since 2019) Thanks!!
