Questions from a new investor - offer just accepted!

[Sheeva R.]

Hi all, 

Finally after putting in many offers I had one accepted - Florida Emerald Coast, 2 bdr/2.5 bath, near the beach. 

A have a bunch of questions being new at this and not knowing what I don't know!

1. It has not been renovated (built in the 80s) and could definitely use some renovation. But since we are into high season we won't close until May, should we just try to rent as is and then do the cosmetic upgrades during low season? My understanding is that the market is very seasonal. Or should we do a mini spruce up with new flooring and paint and then be 2-3 weeks delayed? 

2. What are some things at this point I need to start working on to get this place ready to go asap?

              - arrange for cleaner/handyman

              - start AirBNB listing

              - finding a professional photographer

3. Also, since it is a 2 bedroom - does it make sense to put 1 king, 2 queens and then a pull out sofa in family room if they all fit? Is this the best setup?

Any advice on these questions or anything else that I am not thinking of would be very helpful!
