I just sent a message to my property management company now asking if it's customary for them to list the rental on MLS.Also, regarding the rental price; Not only have I completed the lanai mesh, installed blinds and added a whole-house water conditioning system, but I'm also including the Internet connection and the security system in the advertised asking price which I believe should be worth it. 

But it's tough work and doesn't always pay off.I personally think the big profit is in new development or a project.So, I'm wondering: Is starting something new a better bet?

Internet is a bad place to try to find out about license requirements and trust them..
