Quote from @Alexandra Feig: Hi all,About to close on a property in Columbus and seeking some contractor recommendations!   

I'm not sure I have full confidence in this property management company.

Since the yard is already rough, I would keep the shed and see how it works out.Consider adding something to the lease that permits you to remove it from the property if it becomes problematic.

When evaluating a property management company, it's important to look beyond just the management fee and consider the full scope of services and costs involved.For example, at our company, we charge a 10% monthly management fee, a $250 lease renewal fee (unless it’s a takeover tenant, which requires additional effort to establish a strong relationship - because usually people are changing pm companies for a reason), and the first month’s rent as a leasing fee.

West Palm Beach rental demand is about to rise - what do you think?

Purchase price: $380,000 Cash invested: $135,000 Annual rental to be turned into STR when tenant vacates What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

It is the snowbird season in Florida, so it is a reasonable time to catch attention of those buyers.  

Happy to meet up with you and share my many years experience as an investor and networking with other investors and parting my wisdom.

It doesn't necessarily hurt resale here although you have to know that you're going to be required to carry flood insurance which obviously can skew some numbers.

Your responsibility is the DP, and the CF accumulates to pay you back the full amount of the DP.
