I have included an addendum for the seller to not alter or enter a new lease before or after closing which will give me the chance to enforce my new lease at the beginning of July if everything turns out all right and if extending past June than lease will be transferred month to month.I'm assuming I would still run the current tenants through my own screening process.

By the time you have 1 STR running you should have a handyman or cleaner that you can trust, but in the early stages you have to put a lot of trust in a stranger if you can't do it yourself. 

I know so many investors that have "x doors" that will always be a number greater than I am actually looking to achieve.

I did contact couple of attorneys in Tampa but I got so different answers that I don’t know what to do or say.

Occasionally we see places listed that need 4 Wheel Drive to access or require climbing a lot of stairs to reach the front door.

I think I'll save more by using an experienced local architect that can provide contractor contacts and cost-saving design features and products (like windows, doors, finishes, etc.).  

Rental inspections help to keep your properties running smoothly and ensure that they are being well maintained. 

This seller also owns a really beautiful parcel of land next door that they're willing to include in the sale.

Home Run!!!!

I'm now at 9 doors across the midwest (Memphis and Detroit).
