Quote from @Marc Winter: First, are the current unsubsidized tenants paying properly? 

One of our current thoughts is to put up for rent for a set time (two months) and if it doesn’t rent then sell but that would put us into winter which may hinder selling. 

Can't really see the metal wall from my house but you can see the roof to the commercial building as you're driving in and in the winter the trees provide less cover - although there is a very high and nice privacy fence to separate. 

Pool stays heated all winter as it is cheaper from a utilities standpoint.

Will cut down trees and poison over the winter. 

I think if you can find a $300k house that's a 3x2 that needs a little bit of work and you can have some small equity built up day 1 that might work.I would look in the Apopka, Forest City, Longwood, Casselberry, and Winter Springs areas and try to find a house for around $300k, the rent should be $1700-$2,200 and that might cash flow you a little bit.

Not looking to rake in millions, but lookign to at least break even as we would be using the property as well in summer and maybe winter here and there.

Read 10 of these before winter break...Buffet, Trump, Bloomberg, Craig Hall, Trammell Crow, Jerry Jones, Michael Dell, Bill Gates, Bezos, Sam Zell, Li Ka-shing, Chuck Feeney, Ong Beng Seng....

Whats a good solution for a back yard to be easy to handle in the summer like in the winter? Ive

Utility bills can increase significantly if guests stay for months during hot summers or cold winters.
