And just having some dirty dishes in the sink and some old or rotten fruit sitting on a table somewhere can cause them to multiply quickly.

Other things you need to factor in: utilities like satellite TV/internet (which, since the house probably doesn't have access to cable, internet can be An Issue), and will the HOAs allow short-term rentals?  

Adding crisp white towels, a decorative soap dish and small potted plant on a window sill is a expensive way to elevate a bathroom.

With short-term rentals, you are responsible for those things but also things like pool care, lawn care, pest control, electrical, cable, furniture maintenance, dishes/towels/utensils/etc, cleanings, (you see where i'm going with this), essentially you are operating a hotel. 

(I attached a satellite pic with the lot outlined) My wife and I are thinking of making it a rental.

Go to google maps and look at satellite picture and 'walk' down the street and see what businesses are next to his and contact them and ask, if the business is still in existence . 

But you can just write off Indiatlantic, Cocoa, Cocoa Beach, Satellite Beach and a few others, you'll never get approval and they do check occasionally. 

Cafe Poca Cosa is a little pricier, but the menu changes twice a day and the chef whips up some delicious Mexican dishes. 

seems to me the satellite citys maybe better play for landlording.Flipping Is UBER competitive..

I don’t know her money situation but it’s fair to say if she can continue to pay 1,200 in rent and afford to continue to pay the utilities along with iphone car payment and satellite tv then she can pay another 50 a month to uphold her responsibilities in the lease by hiring a local teenager to cut the grass  .
