Mobile homes as AirBnb in Tampa?

[John Dersoe]

Feedback appreciated, because I must be waaay out of the loop. An investor/inspector that I used in Tampa took some time to speak to me regarding rental opportunities in Tampa/Clearwater/St. Pete etc. He claims he gets the best bang for his buck on bungalow type homes and mobile homes as short term "beach" tourist rentals, and they are easy to obtain, maintain and cheap. I heard him out, but still, at the end of the conversation I have doubts. I was under the impression that single family type, 2-3br, updated homes are my best bet.. like I have in NY. Now, I get it if it was a bungalow 1br.. but, mobile homes?! Who's buying and renting these things out? Is it even allowed? What do you guys think?
