Plus, insurance premiums are expected to go down by up to 50% due to the El Niño effect, which means fewer hurricanes are expected to hit Central Florida, and new legislation reducing fraud provides another great advantage.

I don’t, however, know if this falls under some discrimination category.

I think they are trying to take advantage of me and maybe money is probably tight for them and they are just trying to use me!

FS ch. 82 was amended to make it much easier for the property owner, but certain conditions must exist to take advantage of the expedited manner.

The numbers should work out if I price those items correctly AND not everyone takes advantage of it.

Your mixing up the squatter rights vs. holdover tenants categories. 

@Andrew SteffensYou're very welcome.Yes, the financing conditions are often better in the US but that advantage has all but disappeared with the new normal level of US interest rates.

I find data on free sites like Zillow extremely helpful for days on market for certain homes, and it allows you to sort by bedrooms to see how long a potential property may sit on the market at this moment (great for comping rent prices in the area as well)if I were to live in the property, I would take advantage of the FHA low down payment option to keep cash in my pocket for Reno costs  Hope this helps!

We aren't using the garage at all and aren't planning on doing so, so we thought on making it a living space separated from the house for rent, which we'll sacrifice 1 of the bathrooms to add it to it, and later on do the same with 1 of the rooms as well, though I would have to make an extension to add the rest (kitchen, bathroom, etc.) so that way we could take advantage of the space we aren't using. 

I just hate to see you taken advantage of.
