Thanks, great advice.My main concern is that I am not local (about a 2 hour drive to my market area).

Especially when this practice is still our main source of income and will be for quite some time! 

What Gets Calculated in Child Support PaymentsThe main factor that gets calculated in child support payments is parental income—the total amount of any salary or wages.

What strategies can I implement to maximize rental income from my first property, which I intended to convert into two units ( Unit 1:Main house, Unit 2: Basement sun room) but cannot due to zoning restrictions? 

In sinking mobile homes, the main front and back doors may not line up or close correctly.6.

The 34746 area code has seen a lot of new construction, mainly SFH and apartments.

(My assumption is it may be tough to prove enough material participation if using someone local to manage.)Two things worth noting:1- I'll be discussing with my CPA in-depth soon, but would like to hear other's experiences on this.2 - The main reasons I'm looking to STR's is the tax benefits (Cost-Seg) & appreciation that comes with buying in these areas opposed to the mid-west where I look for long-term rentals..

If you're in a strong market, like the one I am and you can get a property rented out in a weekend while you have current tenants in place. therefore 0 vacancymy most recent turnover cost me $300.I've had other turnovers cost me $4k - that was mainly because of bad tenants who purposely trashed my place. 1 month in lost rent + repairs

Depending on the size of the ADU vs the main property, you would probably be looking at either a "heavy rehab" loan - or a "ground up construction" loan.

Been around a lot of that mainly on smaller SFR deals.
