Particularly, we envision building duplex properties that are shotgun style floor plans.

I am worried about getting involved with someone I dont know well and find out we dont get along or have incompatible work styles and have an ugly "break up".Thanks!

What will stay in style for the long run?

Tiny, old-Florida style building, but it got my attention at $750k.

A lot of landlords and PMs don't like it because it is some additional paperwork and it's very process oriented. 

Also, the market in La Pine suggests that, a larger ranch style home with a big lot and a huge shop, should be eagerly sought after.

This is a very good point, some of the land is wooded but one idea I had was building a tiny home in a cabin style somewhere on the property , and using it as a STR. it was further thought about as over the weekend I just stayed in something like that!

Storage sheds that are converted to living space must then conform to Zoning for the Main House or ADU setbacks, and may need to match the architectural style of the house (every jurisdiction is different), as well as Building Code, including correct footings or slab for flood areas, hurricane straps for winds, current requirements for septic tanks/fields (common even in Pinellas County), and the egress (one 36" door) and bedroom window emergency escape requirements.
