SECOND HOME
Personal use & flexibility
Clarify how you plan to use the property, who will care for it between visits and whether any rental use is part of the plan.

Start with the intended use.
A second home, a long-term rental and a multifamily property can require very different decisions. Connect the property’s appeal with verified costs, applicable rules and the way you intend to own it.
THE PROPERTY BRIEF
What needs to work for you?
RENTAL PROPERTY
Operations, not just asking rent
Review actual leases or support for projected rent alongside taxes, insurance, maintenance, association costs, vacancy and management.
Explore the rental market →MULTIFAMILY
Understand each unit
Confirm the legal configuration, utility arrangements, leases, deposits, condition and documents that support the property’s current use.
Explore a Cape Canaveral example →BEFORE AN OFFER
Separate the property story from the assumptions.
Rental permissions
Confirm the parcel’s jurisdiction and zoning, applicable local requirements and any association restrictions. A state lodging license, municipal requirements and private community rules need separate review.
Florida vacation-rental licensing guide →Income evidence
Ask which figures come from signed leases or actual operating history, and which are projections. Keep the period, source and assumptions visible. Past income is not a promise of future performance.
Cost & condition
Bring expected repairs, capital work, insurance quotations, taxes, association fees and reserves into the review. For a condo, evaluate the building file alongside the unit.
Financing fit
Discuss occupancy, the property type and lender requirements early. If you are considering a DSCR loan, ask the lender how qualifying rental income, payments, reserves and property eligibility will be evaluated.
INVESTMENT SELLERS
Make the evidence easy to review.
An investment buyer needs the visual presentation and the operating facts. Organize leases, verified income and expenses, utility information, relevant permits and the property’s condition before launching.
We can position the property around its actual configuration and location, then connect the campaign with buyers and agents whose property interests align with it.
PLANNING THE NEXT TRANSACTION
Bring tax and financing questions forward.
A potential Section 1031 exchange needs transaction-specific tax planning. IRS guidance addresses exchanges of qualifying real property held for business or investment; do not assume a personal residence or every second-home arrangement qualifies.
If an exchange may be part of your sale, coordinate with your tax adviser and qualified intermediary before structuring the transaction. I can help align the property search and sale timeline with the plan established by those professionals.
