KC has very strong economic and demographic fundamentals such as job growth, population growth, diverse industries etc. that continue to make it a strong market in my opinion. 

He has since all but quit the industry we used to work in together (I’m still in it), and has gone full-time REI.

"How you doing, your family member is selling me the roof over your head and you need to leave" doesn't seem like a good conversation starter.Lastly, is there an industry standard incentive that typically works to motivate "tenants" to move out sooner than later?

Hi Everyone, I'm looking to create some handout materials for my real estate portfolio to give out to lenders (local banks, private money/hard money ) as well as any other industry professional I want to initiate a relationship with and potentially do business.

Seems high for pinellas county unless you are paying utilities for both units?

I recently reviewed a list from a local township, and it looks like more than real estate taxes are considered with regard to tax liens (e.g. water/sewer, public utilities).  

If so, call the utility company and see if they'll give you a year's worth of charges.Lawn / Snow: $100+/month depending on the lot, etc.

Clearly, you have experience within the industry. 

I can qualify for the FHA loan, however, as previously stated, I am looking to utilize my first home as an investment.
