Another option would be working with private lenders to see if they're open to your idea should you need additional funding. 

.- Logically, there really is no additional security provided with both keyed doorknob & deadbolt, but a deadbolt is more secure than a keyed doorknob.- Since you need a key to lock a deadbolt when you leave the premises, tenant's can't lock their key(s) in the home and then pester us to come let them back in.--- Tenants can still lose their keys outside their home:(

My best understanding from talking to reps is they have one local employee (in addition to vendors like cleaners, landscapers...) per 10 listings/properties. 

Many of the OTAs and lead gen sites, like Furnished Finder, are pushing credit card payments. 99.9% of the time I get a message from FF saying 'your tenant would prefer to pay by credit card so activate Stripe now!' 

Quote from @Kelly Giarrocco: I bought a vacant property on Sherriff sale last year on the ********** site.1.

Given that you're not married, that adds some additional complexity.  

Or even a contractor that does large additions and then move towards ground-up stuff.

Stephen, When I open the link to the Cape Coral site, its just to the Citizens shared services page.
