Individuals wanting a Lifestyle change will be a greater market for your services than an Investor.  

A vacant property is also more complex than an occupied one.

I would capitalize the plumbing and bathroom remodel and expense as tenant turnover the kitchen cabinets, any appliances other than an HVAC system, and the tile/other flooring you listed.

The Closing Disclosure fees cannot be higher than an initial Loan Estimate, otherwise this will trigger a cost to cure and the lender must take the hit. 

I'd highly reccomend doing a 5% down conventional rather than an FHA, if you can swing the additional 1.5% down.

To me that's a lot of money to spend less than an hour a week texting, calling, and posting ads. 

Think of whole life insurance as a place to store cash rather than an investment.That cash can then be used to perform your real estate investment activities.The benefit is that you do not have to liquidate your cash account (life insurance cash value).

(a Roofer) And that same Roofer can take off the Cap of the gas exhaust pipe, install the storm collar, and reinstall or replace a new cap back on.

If you're referring to board and cares, a little different than an alf, I think this is an awesome idea!!!

I followed the advice from the insiders I'm connected with, which happened to corroborate my own judgement.Personally, I much prefer to stay in a short-term rental than an all-inclusive resort.
