I didn't do anything wrong to try and get $27,000 owed to me by the stupid eviction moratorium and now will have to choice but to pursue small claims court.1) I applied to San Diego Covid Rental Assistance on behalf on my tenant (appeal by tenant got rejected; not sure what the tenant did or did not do since I can't control her actions and this program only she can appeal and try to get aid, I can only start the process and try and get her to cooperate)2) I also applied to San Diego Small Landlord Rental Assistance on my own (got rejected because I no longer reside in San Diego)Both got rejected.

Until whoever is sending you these opportunities has the conversation with you on how much you'd like to make on a deal, how you figure your ARV and how you plan a rehab/ costs they are likely going to continue sending you opportunities you won't find too appealing. 

If they appeal offer some cash for keys.

The appeal, in my experinence, is a steady local base plus some vacationers passing through.I’ve got a freind who scooped up a place near the Ozarks and found that while huge cash flow was harder to come by, the consistent occupancy gave them fewer headaches over time.

I don't have a garage or any parking so that could hurt the monthly rental appeal. 

The renovation aimed to modernize the property, enhance its appeal to potential tenants, and maximize its long-term value.

Since your building, I'd go a little bigger and make it at least a 3 bedroom 2 bath so that it appeals to a wider audience. 

Most of the core aspects of your LTR lease remain, but there are a few tweeks that I think make MTRs easier to deal with and more appealing to your customers.  

I know building a reliable local network will be key, so I'm hoping to connect with experienced real estate team in the area.The military presence in Jacksonville catches my eye, and I'm particularly interested in properties that might appeal to military personnel and the associated contractors.

If you're going to sell it in 5-10 years then this becomes an appealing strategy because of the additional principal balance you will have paid down during that shorter time period.
