Usually prospective tenants that agents bring to showings will be more qualified to rent in my experience.

Working with @Benjamin Carver or another good agent to help find and close on a deal will be the key. 

Did you inherit this home with a step up in tax basis or will you need to pay taxes on any gains if you sell?

I'd note you're most likely going to do the whole process over again, so don't be surprised if your lawyer doesn't accept your 14 day notice and will send their own.

You are not going to buy land and put in a mobile home and the lender in 6 months will consider it a single family home.

I am looking into a company right now that does rent guarantee insurance and also does in lieu of deposit will issue a bond that the tenant basically gets charged a monthly fee for.

This will of course depend on your local tenancy laws as well.

I would also add that you join your local REIA chapter (Real Estate Investor Association) as it will allow you to network with other STR owners and get more location-specific information. 

That’s the magic of real estate compounding over time, and it’s stories like yours that really highlight this.. from what i read in the street journal, that slow build often outperforms shorter-term stategies.From an investor-friendly agent’s perspective, being willing to dig into the neighborhoods (driving for dollars) and having a robust network.. from probate attorneys to local contractors.. can pay off big.
