I don't suspect this particular home will have many / if any hazards, but it does still have the original (painted) wood siding, which was the impetus for me looking at this , or any similar, program. 

HEY KEVIN IM CURRENTLY ON A SIMILAR JOURNEY HERE IN CT.

I’ve been investing in the Tampa Bay area for over 20 years, with around 30 rentals myself, and it’s always inspiring to see folks like you diving in with such focus on cash flow.It’s amazing how buy & hold can really shift your lifestyle—I actually started out similar to you and eventually left my day job to focus on real estate full-time.

Looks fairly similar to some communities I know of on that side of town. 

I want to let you know that there is a short term rental forum, where you can chime in on things that have worked for you, or ask questions of folks who have similar successes and challenges with STRs.  

One hour in each direction of where you live will surely have similar opportunities and a much higher learning cycle for you.

Volunteer work can lead to the similar experience.Education is a plus that can be brought to the table. 

I've seen new build developments where 10+ units are for rent all at similar prices and sit for months.

Similarly, make sure the ground cannot lift any masonry on the outside of the house.Hopefully this helps.

Surround yourself with like-minded individuals who are at a similar stage in their investment journey, or seek out those who are 1-2 steps ahead.
