In any event, I would be glad to assist in any way I can as I have been through what you are likely about to go through. 

We are happy to assist you with whatever management team you feel is in your best interest.

If you are looking to work with a STR focused realtor that probably has the most STR sales in the area, is an STR investor himself, has a STR property management company and assists with staging if needed, and can give you a true pulse on the market, I recommend reaching out to @Josh Green.

Offer to be his/her assistant for free, do all the stuff he/she hates doing, and learn the business from them.

Random things like this.I can only imagine if they did allow you to add all the bedrooms, they would make you also add fire sprinkler system and a commercial fire alarm system like residential assisted living. 

I am happy to assist and have a detailed discussion to go over potential options to help if you would be open to it.

I saw a post today of a chick freaking out how she got reported to welfare and is pist there cutting here benefits now demanding she sell her 2024 BMW and until does that her $4kmnth food stamps went to $88 and her sec8 requires she pay 90%, how dare them stop her mnthly cash assistance, and she was going on about how dare them, how dare them demand her report her income and not get her "government check"...... 

In terms of the second scenario, the upside I see is the option to get a different kind of loan (say, FHA with a lower down payment and other assistance programs for K-12 educators like me) since I'd be getting a new primary residence instead of a second home.

While showing one of the newly vacated units to a potential renter, he informed me that he was displaced because of the hurricanes, and that FEMA was providing him with assistance for moving, including paying his security deposit, rent, and moving costs.
