Advice on purchase of vacation rental property
Hello all. I am in the process of purchasing a SFH in Port Charlotte, Fl to use as a vacation rental. The home inspection turned up a couple of issues on this older home. 1) the breaker panel is located over the sink (behind a mirror) in the master bathroom. 2) there are no A/C ducts in the master bathroom. The property appraiser website has 2 bedrooms listed for this property but the home has three. The property appraiser website lists the home at 996 sq Ft but the listing says 1200 sq Ft. The layout in the property appraiser website shows the total area of the home (the rooms are not divided). It seems like the living room was walled off to create the master suite. Should this have been permitted? I don’t think that the breaker panel being over the sink would have passed inspection? If so, will I have an issues selling this property in the future? Thank you in advance.
