I also suggest you post your listing to "Short Term Rental Listing Advice" on Facebook and let them give you more feedback as well.  

Quote from @Khaled El Dorry: I have a portfolio of 3 SFH's (2 in Jax and 1 in ocala) and 1 duplex in port charlotte (never flooded or damaged due to hurricanes) that have done very well for me.  

I am from the Boston area as well.

To add value to the property, we undertook extensive renovations including the removal of over 40 yards of trash, installation of a new septic system and wall-hung boiler, and a new well pump.

@Cristen Marcotte Well, my last post doesn't help you much.

Several years ago when the low flow toilets came out, some just didn't work well at all.

A well written management contract should clearly spell out what is expected of both the PMC and the owner, to PROTECT both and avoid misunderstandings.

Quote from @Gregory Schwartz: I have 2 very close friends who grew well beyond 2 rentals with this strategy. 

I have made my own list of leads as well with some properties that I find vacant, probate, tax lien. but have only helped an out of state realtor on a deal a yr ago. and 2025 I would like to have the right people to go to with questions and or properties when I talk/find home owners that are willing to get rid of the property as well. 

These cash flow very well.
