Hello,My wife and I recently found a property that fits all of the things we are looking for, perfect location, price, rooms, etc. except for one problem: The previous owner was a smoker :( Does anyone have experience buying/renting out/living in a home previously owned by smokers?

Good luck with a perfectly complete application that makes it by them on the first pass!

$280k home for $2,500 rent is a personal choice.

With a manageable purchase price and the opportunity for high-impact renovations, it fit perfectly within our investment strategy, promising a solid return.

Thats your bonafides to being able to do future deals.As mentioned above, keep your credit perfect.

Plus, the population growth and job market around Tampa keep driving rental stability, making it a solid choice for both cash flow and long-term equity.

I respect and understand your choice to find a new provider.

The timing and the property where perfect to get my feet wet.

The Housing Choice Voucher program here is run by CMHA (Columbus Metropolitan Housing Authority).

If you wait for the perfect deal it will never come.
