What you stated only applies to St Pete itself, and not unincorporated Pinellas county.

@David LewisRecommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

Does the lease also state that the tenant must follow the HOA rules? 

This applies regardless of the type of deduction you choose to take for the vehicle.If section 179 doesn't work in your situation, there is bonus depreciation, which allows for a deduction of up to about $20k of the value of the vehicle for 2024. 

Once they exercise seller financing, the property is sold and all 1031 rules apply. 1031 has specific timelines.

I can at least find out the rules that go by or what they allow. 

Through my experience, I’ve cultivated a conservative approach that balances opportunity with risk management that I apply to every deal that crosses my desk.

Also, I would look at rental rates to property values to determine if any areas are around the 1% rule.

Applying that to RE investing, most would agree your first FHA loan should be a multi-unit house hack.

I don't know the rules in the US, but in Canada, you can do that every 2 years and when you sell, you don't pay taxes on the capital gains.
