If nothing else, put a few dollars in for giggles - most of us on here can afford to “play” with a little cash (whether that is $50 or $50k depends on you) Why on earth wouldn’t you play with something that can potentially triple your money in a week or two?

But it all depends on what your goals and money/time constraints are.

The smart play would be to build a two story wood frame structure on top of piers or concrete block in most cases. 35 feet is a pretty typical height limit in most neighborhoods, so depending on elevation you SHOULD be able to build two stories on top of the elevated foundation.

I think it depends on your state. 

But it is my understanding from these companies that a landlord policy does not cover STR or any renters under 30/60/120 days depending on who you talk to.

It all depends on the time of the year. 

It can do better or worse depending where you are, but these are some general ideas of what you can get out of it.

I would say it depends, but I lean toward yes. 

Tenants will trash your property, regardless of what market you choose to invest in.

If only someone had written a book to help people like you.I prefer you spend some time educating yourself before jumping in, but that depends on how bad the PM is and how quickly you can educate yourself and take control.If you choose to terminate, read your PM Agreement carefully to see if there are any termination penalties.
