I would recommend having the property assessed for any damages—were the windows or doors damaged during the forced entry? 

I’d recommend starting slow with one 2-4 unit using leverage and see if you even like being a landlord.

To have a successful STR I HIGHLY recommend listening to this episode of a podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/on-the-market/id161508...Once you listen to this, and any highly involved STR operator will agree, you will find a lot of the fundamentals are lacking in Kissimmee or you have to have deep pockets to hit those.I won't spoil the episode, but if you listen to it (and anyone out there that does) feel free to DM me afterward and I'd be happy to talk details tailored to your situation on if you're on the right path or maybe I can help.

Any help or recommendations would be greatly appreciated! 

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

Are there any markets you would recommend for long distance investing?

I understand business is slow right now relative to recent years, I'd recommend you get a better grip on being a REI agent.

What would you guys recommend for the yard?

Ian - do you have any recommendations for a good securities law attorney? 

I would also recommend increasing your liability coverage to at least $2M.
