I believe our team will continue to meet the level of service you expect in the future, but should you need anything or have an issue, please reach out. 

Professionals find good deals, operates them professionally hopefully providing a profit without you have to deaL with the issues that face a landlord every day. 

Having the tenant be responsible for something like the first $1000 of each maintenance issue, or $500 can be a big help.

Plus, compared to other parts of Florida, the Panhandle is still relatively affordable, making it a great option for first-time investors or those looking to diversify their portfolio.Another huge perk is Florida’s no state income tax and landlord-friendly laws, which make it easier to manage and profit from rental properties.

None of these communities will be changing to residential neighborhoods, although a couple do have residential 'sides' that full time residents live in and can not be rented short term.Two of the big communities that you will have some issues with self managing are Reunion and Margaritaville.

I don't see it as an issue but many still do, at least in my small town where the majority of renters are elderly people looking for low maintenance housing options.

@Bryan HartlenManaging low-end properties can be demanding due to higher tenant turnover, increased maintenance needs, and frequent rent collection issues.

Quote from @Jim Stanley: You should reserve insurance for large claims.Contact the city and report the issue to them.

Our rep at Lendbase never called to apologize or ask if a prepayment penalty was an issue for us.

And folks that need to do that dont have the capacity to deal with a loan that has been called and a seller that is madder than a wet hornet if you goof up their credit.Then the other major issue glossed over by everyone is there is a minute amount of sellers that will even entertain these transactions and most of the time your paying a premium for the asset.
