A bet those properties got rented right away! 

When I want a tenant gone, I am flexible and tell them they can leave any time in the next 30 days if they give me one week of notice, then I will refund any unused portion of rent.

.: Someone let me know when the median home price in Rancho Palos Verdes is reasonable again I bet you can  get a deal on one the cliff hangers over the beach that probably will be on the beach in 20 years :)

So your best bet is to find another lender if you find specific items that you do not agree with 

You might also want to explore other options like Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) for more flexibility or even direct ownership of smaller properties if you want a bit more control.

I'm betting on demand increasing when rates go back down, which will only drive prices upward. 

There are 24 municipalities in Pinellas County, not including the unincorporated areas.Unincorporated Pinellas County is super-simple for STR (and obviously anything longer term), and would probably be your best bet.

You bet man.

This allows them more financial flexibility, more discretionary spending, working less, and more time with loved ones.
