Desirable houses that I have seen are starting at 650k, but I was wondering if there are other sources to look instead of online postings. 

Facebook and all these online or social media based groups can only get you so far.

In terms of the lady spending all her time reporting violations... yikes.There are a few maps online that show the unincorporated areas of pinellas county down to the street, and then you can cross reference the county zoning website.

And once the houses are up, are prices going to come down as new units come online but homebuyers pool increases continuously while they all have $25k?

Here is what I proposed:Setup fees : Administration Setup:One Time Fee: $400Guidebook: Using professional photos give the guests a professional tour of the house and how the home works (Wifi passwords // How to use grill // How to use propane fireplace // Hot tub instructions // Sauna instructions //Check in and check out instructions //where extras may be storedOTA (Online Travel Agency) setups: taking professional photos and actively updating your listing on popular platforms;PMS (Property Management System) Setup Smart Pricing Set upWebsite integrationOther (furniture arrangement / design / décor shopping and set up) $50 per hour· Placement fees · Marketing Cost: Variable depending on needs/wants for marketingFacebook AdsGoogle Ads Cleaners: Set up procedures/take pics of expectations· Management fee—30%Guest communicationCleaner communicationSetting Rental rateDealing with small maintenance issuesBooking CoordinationSmart Lock integrationKeeping supplies stocked (TP, paper towel, all cleaning products, coffee, filters, creamer, sugars, teas,)(Receipts would be submitted on a monthly basis for either reimbursement or book keeping purposes)Encouraging guests to leave good reviews by periodically checking in, providing a review template, and ensuring guests receive the amenities they are looking forContinued marketingMajor Maintenance fees—OwnerCleaning and laundry services fees: Cleaning fee to the guest depending on how cleaner wants to charge

Get to know people, build relationships, and determine if they are the real deal or a pretender.Asking for investing advice from strangers can be a lot like online dating: 

Mentors are found by building relationships at meetups in real life, not online when you are just getting started unless you are using the forums as your meetup and you are really getting to know people.4.

These "bandit" signs are everywhere in NYC and I have yet to ever come across someone who has called them to actually sell their property - most people I know have looked up something online and landed on an option through that route. 

Then I paid $25 to some online background check agency to find out if the owner had any other liens/bankruptcies/judgments against them and also got their contact info from there.
