So if you're in FL I'd go with SC or NC especially if you have close ties or family there.Have you ruled out house hacking in Miami? 

What Melanie is referring to here is stepped up basis rules that allow you to take the FMV at date of death or at 6 months after death.

I’ve made rules and stick to them.

The rules aren’t often enforced, but I’d be more worried about getting caught up in a lawsuit with no errors and omissions insurance protection personally.

You clearly don't know what your doing and should NOT, by the rules and codes of NAR, be a primary listing agent on anything right now.

I would advise you to look for a house instead of a condo.Condos have many fees, rules and can have expensive assessments for repairs and improvements that you will be forced to pay.Also Condos are a dime a dozen so the competition is fierce which drives the nightly rental rate way down.

We did not do our due diligence regarding the HOA rules and found out after purchasing that we are not allowed to do short term rentals. 

(you can get the process started after 60 days) We have the 90 day season rule.

The easy way around that is to follow the number 1 rule of holding, which is, do not leave your holdings on an exchange. 

Eg, I told them around 20 days before about parking rules in my property and forwarded them the HOA rules, but they were still asking me for it 20 days after.
