$280k home for $2,500 rent is a personal choice.

You are the owner and you make your own choices when it comes to your property.

Some will shed most is not all of their rentals and just do lending .. personal choice.. some things to keep in mind ONLY do first loans. 

The house will need a new fence soon, so I'll have to factor that into the scenario.I'm not sure which choice is the best option for me.

They completely wasted my time due to lack of knowledge and organization to my file; then changed their offer as if I had no other choice but to take it.

@Joshua Lanzieri when renovating older properties there are almost always negative surprises.Go watch any HGTV renovation show and most of them will have this as a cliff-hanger, forcing the choice of either going over budget or cutting back elsewhere.10% overruns happen often, but 50% is NOT acceptable!

I’ve worked with a lot of investors and property managers in both Texas and Florida, so hopefully, I can help you sort through the options.Florida VibesFlorida could be a fantastic choice if you’re leaning toward short-term rentals.

But I have 0 empathy to pay for someone's CHOICE of not having there stuff insured. 

2) You MUST screen these people before renting to them, but you can use FurnishedFinders screening tool3) Otherwise, you can put your choice of screening link in your ad or include in a response template in FF.

It's always a personal choice everyone has a different perspective.
