The tenant wasn't thrilled, but the cost was lower and that style is more durable in a rental.

If you are set on diversifying, choose a style that helps you reach your own goals.

The old wood siding will need to be replaced as well because of combined termite and squirrels going buffet style on it.With all that being said I'm wondering if anyone has remediation experience with major termite issues.

the cape style home was picked through like you wouldn't believe (walls town apart to get to piping, windows removed)  it was a shell of a house that sat empty for 4+ years bofore tax auction.   

Also, how to I find property managers for airbnb style rental and are there any better recommended beach areas to look?

I lived in the front an old grocery store I converted into a loft style 2 bedroom apartment.
