I wanted to see if there was a legal way of converting the office to a short-term rental as well and just run 4 short-term rentals instead.

@Travis Timmons Thank you this is exactly my thought as they'll have the garage door openers as well.

Purchase price: $80,000 Cash invested: $150,000 Hoarder house sourced through a wholesaler with plans to renovate and turn into a short term rental What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

I am an agent in down in Fort Lauderdale but I know WPB pretty well.

Blue Crane (grandsons of Sam Walton) has recently acquired a big chunk of property in Bella Vista and has plans to do some mega developing there. 

I currently have one single family rental in the Austin area that cash flows pretty good and has appreciated well.
