If has beach access, sound access, and / boater access, you'll get more traffic by catering to different types of coastal renters.

This home is a few hours away; so what about things like driving miles, anything we purchase for the house, food while working on the house, gas, lodging, utilities...

Seriously though there's a movement about to not mow your lawn in May to provide food for pollinators.

Our goal is to run a company that really caters to the property owner.

Surely you would consider these things more than a "shiny object of distraction":-Extremely rapid population growth-Extremely rapid income growth-Growing tech sector-Concentration of educational institutions-High quality of life (high scores for food, weather, leisure, music, parks, etc)-Relatively low cost of living (compared to other high-income metros)Underwriting with appreciation and rent growth in Austin is not speculative.

You would be in a good position to cater to travel nurses and students who just need a few months out of the year and are willing to pay much higher rents (in my experience.. nearly double) versus traditional long-term tenants in this scenario would. 

The landlord(and family) would move from one tenant's place to the next, eating their food, using their stuff, sleeping there, living off of the tenant until they paid to get the landlord out of their hair...

Meaning, the market supports it; all you need to do is successfully deal with crazy rent controlled tenants, strict planning/building codes, archaic condo conversions, city politicians that cater to tenants and hate developers and investors, etc., etc. ;~)  It's like hunting for elephants here- every deal is long, complicated and arduous.

Food waste should be scraped into the garbage.

Bottom is mini-fridge for beer and wine, plus a blender for margaritas.Big black storage cabinet in kitchen for winter coats, or food, vacuum cleaner, or whatever.I think the knotty pine with a soft sheen, and the black cabinets with a soft sheen work well together.Note: Right click open in a new tab is a bigger picture.Just my 2 cents.
