Purchasing a new primary and turning my current house into a rental and looking to hire a PM but some of the fee's seem high. 1 quote - 100% 1st/month rent if i self-manager, or 75% 1st/mo rent and 10%/mo for PM to manage.Again, im new to this but from reading and talking to people there is a typical finders fee ~1000$ and 10%/mo rent if the PM manages. 

BRRR can definitely seem like a beast at first, but once you get rolling, it’s a game-changer.

The whole thing seems odd, some people aren't great at responding to leads.

Your current RE seems like a fine asset that I would not consider selling to enter most other markets.  

But I can't seem to find any information about what are legal requirements for owners and property managers.

Just the way the str thing works because rents seem to take about a year or so to stabilize.My goal is to get 20 cabins in the next 5 years.   

For our next play we want to get into a single or multi-family, and preferably participate in what seems like a booming market in Florida. 

I ran quick numbers (see below) and it would seem that we'd cash flow better with Section 8, but the horror stories from other investors scare me.  

However, every insurance company has no idea what I'm talking about and don't seem to cover this.

At the same time, serving notice seems like the right move for your peace of mind and future plans.
