I hope that you have changed the locks and secured your property to prevent anyone else with a key to return.

Zoning restrictions can be partially a pain depending on your county and its zoning board.

I am wondering if anyone has any experience purchasing a vacation home (specifically in Key West or Arizona, but advice from anywhere would be great) and renting it out as an AirBnB, when it's not being used?

On a side note, I don't know your exit plan for the property, but if the building is up to 92% rentals I would get involved with the board and find out the plan for the building.

It's like a Mac (sadly price isn't great) but runs Windows and I'm able to run Photoshop, Illustrator, and After Effects w/o too many problems.If you really want to stay cheap then you could also look into a tablet w/ a Bluetooth keyboard.

Whether they just want to hire us for the contracting side, or if they want to buy turn key properties from us at full price, or even at some sort of discount in a partnership.

If he blames OP for incorrectly describing the property as "rent ready" then who does he blame for his claims of providing "turn-key" investments?

To the point, the first house is currently listed at 399. 5 bedrooms, 2 baths, has pool hot tub and is essentially turn key.

Depending on the property and need you could board horses.
