The cons as i see it include loosing the 2 of 5 year cap gain exception, typically not an ideal rental because the emphasis at purchase was buying a good home for your family and not a rental with optimal return (my ex-home consistently has the lowest cash flow for equity in my RE portfolio), not disconnected enough from the property causes addition angst on damage and may result in over improvement.  

Every property i use it i make additional tweaks.  

Additionally, the Villages are close by and with an aging population it attracts a lot of healthcare field workers.Now, with a lot of rental properties you may run into slightly longer vacancy periods if you have a unit turn at the same time as others, but generally speaking renter demand is solid. 

Additionally, ensure that all necessary notices for filing an eviction have been posted and properly documented in your records.

Great use of space and provides additional income to offset the monthly payment.Orlando, and many other cities, have a "missing middle" problem in regards to housing. 

Additionally, the price point is still cheap enough to find the 1% rule and positive cash flow and it's super landlord friendly (so you will never have to go through a 12 month eviction or anything close to that!).

An emergency fund needs to be liquid, and immediately available to you in addition to being low risk and protecting principle.
