My concern is that I may need to invest a significant amount in redecorating the home to appeal to this new audience.I’d really appreciate your thoughts on this.

Get pictures of every room, the electrical breaker box, water heater, furnace, each side of the house, the roof, the basement if there is one, inside and outside of the garage if there is one etc.If the seller doesn’t want you to come do a walk-through and take pictures due to concerns over COVID-19, then have the seller take pictures and send them to you.

Florida and Gulf Coast insurance should be a concern. 

The red flags of managing from a distance and hiring a property manager are legitimate concerns that make it more challenging.

I've consulted a few times over the years with planners and with the way I buy properties, my liquidity requirements, and my concerns about about how government overspending affects the future, makes me a poor candidate for IRAs and 401(k)s with the stifling regulations.   

If you ever want to have a discussion to explore your options or ask any questions about the concerns you mentioned, I would be happy to help! 

These are just some of my thoughts and concerns.

@Chris Seveney I'm concerned about having $$$ for repairs when needed.

What specific concerns or opportunities are you seeing in your market?

It seems like the LO's have no experience working with investors and are not very concerned with trying to make the numbers work.
