A great lake front home doesn't have to cost a mint but it sounds like you want something that is really fantastic which will bring a higher nightly rate.

I don't have much experience dealing with Section 8 and I wonder whether there's a risk of bringing attention to a non-conforming rental to the Section 8 authorities. 

When Google brings up the search results, usually the first result will be from Zillow or Trulia.

Quote from @Jason Baker: After leaving the real estate market in 2024 and bringing in the new year of 2025, what are the best updated strategies/approaches to be a successful wholesaler in the Miami Market?  

I work with agents who know my buying criteria, and they bring deals to me before they hit the public market.

Within a residence there is a presumed right to privacy and installing cameras by you or your tenants can bring you legal issues.  

To protect this community, they are selective about the people bring in because we all want connect with people who are motivated, committed to the process, and excited about being part of a real estate investing community.

However, I see this as a vertical integration and bringing more capabilities in house to make more money instead of hiring an outsider firm. 

Turnover costs can be frustrating, but they’re worth it for the peace of mind that comes with having quality tenants—tenants who pay on time and don’t bring the daily stress of dealing with bad renters.If you keep these tenants, they’ll likely cause more damage, knowing they can get away with it.

I hope more people come forward to bring forward the reality.
