I moved in with very little furniture, so it's been an adventure buying a suitable couch, dining table, etc. 

Especially ask about cost of insurance and whether getting an elevation certificate is worth it.Here's the FEMA portal to determine flood zones: https://msc.fema.gov/portal/ho...If you have a 3 bed rental with at least 1.5 baths and no water view, you should be looking to get at least $2,000 per month and if it's suitable for weekly rentals in the summer, roughly the same amount per week. 

Definitely explore what types of business are suitable for the area.

I have no financial interest in this company but watched a webinar of theirs and, found it was innovative that, instead of purchasing property and using it as an Air Bnb rental model for househacking purposes,they in fact simply rented a suitable place and then applied the Air Bnb model to it, using it for their personal residence if needed as well as providing rentable space for income purposes.This could be a great way to generate some significant passive income while abating your housing payment altogether, though you would not build an equity stake. 

After you find one that is suitable, start assembling a team in the location, a team that consists of a realtor, property manager, insurance broker, contractor, lender, etc.Let them know your criteria and whenever a property does pop up, make sure they drive by it to ensure it's location is quality and the structure is quality.

They're probably much more likely to care about whether or not you're going to be a pain in the neck during the project to see if you're suitable to invest.  

Therefore if you can take that equity and find a suitable deal with the same CoC return you move it forward.  

Dumps masquerading as suitable housing.

Just go through the meetup app and find suitable events around you.

I'm looking to relocate for work and I'm having trouble finding suitable multi-families so I'm thinking about renting a room and/or an AirBnB in a single family.
