Additionally, I have a "Notice to Vacate" section in my non-standard rental provisions indicating that tenant and landlord must provide a 2 full calendar month notice to vacate. 

As someone who lived in Satellite (behind the CVS beachside), I will say the upkeep with the salt water was tough, but the area was phenomenal. 

Also dont know if that's standard for the area with the hidden fees I hear get charged?

My responses are standard.

You are not required to pay upfront costs (and shouldn't, in my opinion.)I require written verification from utility companies (water, gas, electric) that utilities have been assigned to Tenant effective the first day of occupancy; no confirmation = no keys and lease approval withdrawn).

We made several improvements to the property when we got it - a totally new gas line, a totally new water line including all the lines from the street and pex plumbing installed.

I'd just outline a clear cut criteria to make your decision making standard.

As long as it meets all the standard kinds of coverage, the lender shouldn't care either way.STR insurance usually FAR exceeds any kind of coverage that homeowners provides.Proper, CBIZ and Foremost are STR insurance providers.

Your standard landlord policy isn’t going to be valid.
