Anyone know if there's a delay in Cook County?

We expect STR rent between $12k to $15k per month.The finished product will be an open layout, 5 BR, 2.75 bathroom home with beautiful, rehabbed pool, and with a deck with a view. 

Who pays the water, heat, hot water, cooking gas, trash, common area maintenance, etc? 

I would recommend attending some training sessions organized by the local realtor association with which you plan to align yourself with to help network with the local agents and familiarize yourself with the local loan officers in the area (these events are usually sponsored by the local lender branches) and the start to finish process in the RE transaction.

However, within the city of Tampa limits you can Airbnb.I personally just finished BRRRing a quadplex in Ybor City personally for my business partner and myself.

New flooring, cabinets, tops, appliances, furniture & finishes, added washer dryer, new utility service, tile drain, paver sidewalk, and more!

@Philip Cook -- thanks for the tip!

Stay on them but keep in mind that you have a cook in the kitchen still.  

I know it may not be what you want to hear but I say finish the rehab and then get picks.

Lets say in the future I sold THAT property as a 1031 and bought ANOTHER rental property, then in the future decide to sell THAT property, but NOT do a 1031 exchange, just want to be finished with it (hope I didnt lose you on that).
