Last year I built two new construction homes with one being sold and the other is currently rented out for a suitable profit. 

If this is something the author wrote what are some basic ideas or topics I can write to create a new article for my website.Also, should visitors be able to download with or without leaving their contact info?

So its a combination of increasing costs and relatively flat rents that puts too much of a squeeze on cap rates.Still a lovely place to visit or to live....but maybe not to invest in my opinion

I might also point out that when your ROE starts to not fit the "highest and best use" of your capital, then it's time to do something.That could be in the form of a Refinance to pull out equity to improve your returns, or sell the property to move into a bigger more suitable scenario.  

If it's a rehab, I'd make sure I made a visit or 2 along the way. 

There's one called the Professional Investors Guild which is usually every 3rd Thursday of the month at 7pm at the Emerald Coast convention Center and another networking group every last Tuesday of the month at the Twisted Grape in Shalimar 6pm.If you're not on my list already, please sign up at the website on my signature.I have a couple right now to sell that'd be more suitable as rentals.

One possible strategy that can reduce the risk of a 1031 Exchange is to consider using a Reverse 1031 Exchange transaction.The Reverse 1031 Exchange will allow an investor to spend all the time necessary to search and locate a suitable Replacement Property.

If the former, only you can determine if the condition of the current gutters are suitable for a rehabbed home. 

Or other advice around that, suitable for our situation?

I'll add that Airbnb, as you asked, is a great option, especially if you're in a location that visitors want to be.
