Granted once I rent out the unit I leave, after vacancy and everything we would cash flow almost 400(minus heloc as well)All the deals I find.

With your considerable experience and, I'm assuming, strong credit score, you would be well-positioned to receive high leverage and low rates from most private lenders.

Could you please share with me as well?

It's that simple.Doesn't hurt to have real hardwood floors and A/C as well.

I am renting my new STr out later this year might place a camera indoors as well as changing locks and wanting outdoor cameras.

Reducing risk requires at least some time spent in research and involvement in a deal.There are many other things you learn along the way as well. 

I certainly think that’s a great option as well.

Having realistic expectations was something I had to accept early on.Property managers are going to be key for your investing as well.

Quote from @Duane Richards: @Sundone Boutvyseth I also did a 10% on STR in Florida last year, it's worked out really well, but went through a national lender.

.- The inspections are only 5 years, but tenants are not likely to take care of them home as well as you, and refurbishing hardwood, lath and plaster, and anything else is going to be much more expensive than the typical Landlord special (white paint, and grey LVP)It will all come down to making your numbers work.
