Needs all new cabintry, windows, doors, roof (has some life left), fixtures, fencing, some electrical and plumbing changes, and some framing/drywall due to termite damaged sill plate in areas.

If you get a proven operator that offers sightly less, it may still be a good idea to stick with someone who's been around the block for a while. 

I have lost a lot more $$$ to tenant damage than to unpaid rent.  

I set up my daily time blocks on GC and watch the ted line steal my day away for motivation.

Blocks delivered.  

In one particular circumstance we had the same tenant intentionally damage their heating system and then calling in a complaint. 

I like the idea of STR as it seems like it can generate significantly more income than LTR and would allow me to block out dates if I have friends or family come visit.

I unfortunately blocked two plots and paid 20% for both and now it is almost 2 years and there is no response at all from Wagner or the builders :(-------The house will come with stainless steel appliances including a dishwasher, hood, refrigerator, and range.3 Bedrooms2 Bathrooms2 Car garage 1323Sq/ftThe price of this property is $198,000.00 with a 20% due at contract and the remaining 80% could be paid via conventional financing or cash.

No damage from any pets yet and you may even charge a pet fee as well. 

I would suspect once investors digest the higher rate environment and some of the hurricane damage is moved inventory will settle out in neutral territory.
