I'd love to chat with you about KW if you have any more questions!

My contractor got to know the lady across the street very well (in a good way) as she would always be chatting him up. 

From the brief chat I had with my tax preparer, my understanding is that the profit wouldn’t be completely tax free, as I’ve already started depreciating the property on my 2014 tax returns, same will apply to 2015.

@Shelley AltermanI'm talking here with 30 years experienceYou're in Florida and you're an agent and that's awesomeIf you care about protecting the seller I would do a lease purchase versus a lease option and get 5% down and take 3% as a feeI don't know what Florida customary earnest money deposits are, in California earnest money is 3%My advice to you: Create a lease purchase agreement, Florida State lease, and a sale and purchase agreement.To make your seller happy I would take the payment from the tenant buyer and send it directly to the bank if she's out of town, I use www.notecollection.comTo improve the chances of the buyer getting a mortgage I would mandate that they use a credit improvement service like www.upgrademycredit.comIf you leave the buyer to their own devices that won't work on their credit and debt to earnings ratioCredit is very tight right now and you need to find the right tenant buyer has a good chance of getting the mortgage.

I'm happy to chat or meet to talk about local conditions and opportunities.Tom

Additionally I am sure there are huge possible liability concerns if the tenant is injured while putting up the hurricane shutters.There are many different types of Hurricane shutters from the panels you fit and tighten, the accordion, roll down for sliding glass doors, and impact windows.Depending on what story the window or door is located on and your budget will ultimately determine what hurricane mitigation device you choose. 

I would love to chat with you about some of the other strategies you mentioned as well, just reach out if I can be of any assistance to you!

I'd love to hook up and chat.

Hey @Connor BellI would chat with a lawyer to confirm the decision, since I do not know if it is a good move to place your primary in an LLC.
