If you are thinking about adding AC or other modern amenities, you'll be spending a lot of money.

@Avery Carl turned this exact situation into a science

I'm 19, I currently reside in Washington State, dropped out of college, I was studying computer science but then realized it just was not for me and found myself not knowing what I wanted to do for a career.

Renovated 10 of the apartments with modern fixtures and finishes to attract great tenants.

I will graduate in May with no debt, a Computer Science degree, and a ~$70k/yr offer from a company I worked for as a school-required internship. 

To do a first investment as a short-term rental and win, you have to know the market, understand the HOA structure and allowability in FL, you have to know the management costs (could be 15-20%), and the science behind pricing, changeover/cleaning, and competition in the market.

I would rather have a realtor who surprises me with science than one who strings me along and assumes I'm not going to do due diligence. 

It's really not rocket science... and once you've been around the block a few times you will be so much more comfortable.$100,000 should be able to get you at least 2 good properties (in my area)... and probably closer to 3 if you are lucky.  

It's an art rather than a science.

It was in pretty good shape overall for its age having had various updates through the years,  but in a perfect world it was going to need work to correct awful floor plan (made by combining two small main floor units into a larger one) and the roof was going to need replacing in 5 years,  and it needed some other upgrades and modernizing if I was going to keep it longer.
