Building has a wide open 44,000sq/ft floor plan, there is a large parking lot on the building front side for customers and/or for covered boat/rv storage, the purchase would also come with another 1acre of land that is currently occupied by a local business (the business renting the u-haul will be pushed off the land at the sale of the building) to rent u-haul.

To me, it's like buying a a TV that is widely advertised for $300, and then trying to sell it to someone else for $325. 

DeLand rents can vary widely depending on location. 1k- 1.6k is a realistic range for a 3/2 

No question is a dumb question- don't be afraid to ask, you will get a wide variety of answers from this group and a lot of great info! 

. - Install two new high efficiency condensing boilers, and update windows and insulation for better heat loss performance.PROS - a) minimally invasive; b) can provide 15-30% reduction in heating costs (we are told).CONS - a)total gas expense is still paid by the landlord; b) individual units won't have individual control (except for a thermostat controlled shutoff valve for heat/water in each unit); c) AC would be available on with in wall/window units. 2) Try to individually meter each units' gas and provide each with a traditional forced air heating/cooling system.PROS: a)gas expense could be completely removed for landlord (huge)- even tankless hot water could be installed in each unit; b) each unit would have their own climate control.CONS: a) constructions costs of running new gas lines and soffiting sheet metal duct work. b) highly invasive with collateral construction costs; c) future costs of maintenance on multiple systems vs a single building-wide system. 3) An electric based heating system- This is tricky in my mind because of the high cost of electric heat.

Cheers,Brian Turnkey is a pretty widely discussed topic here on Bigger Pockets.

It's highly unlikely any major sweeping policy would be passed restricting short term rentals city/county/state-wide because it's a huge part of our local economy.

I’m wanting to appeal to a wide audience.Thanks in advance for the help!

Split it and put in two single-wide trailers and Owner Finance or rent them out.2.
