The main difference is in the risk. 

Corner lot, 11x17 deck, 2 car driveway, walk-in closet in master bedroom, door to main bathroom from master bedroom, a basement great for my work shop, right next to a park and many amenities.

They deposit it and the day it clears I transfer it over to my main one.

I have family and friends in the general area so traveling there to look at properties/meet with a team can also be excuses to visit family.Those are the main reasons.

The main culprit, which are the renters living adjacent to my bedroom windows: are what I presume to be family of 8 to 10 people: an old man, an older woman, another woman in her 30's and another woman, a man, 3 toddlers and 2 high school aged kids - all living in a 3 bedroom/2 bath home.

Initially, I dont care about ARV, because it has no direct impact on cashflow (which I'm assuming would be your main focus).

Just to add for the ramp as an example, if the main door is 2' up from the parking lot, you would need a 24' ramp.

My name is Zachary from Tampa but will be in the Southwest areas of Florida mainly Estero, Ft Myers, Cape Corral as well as Lehigh Acres area for the next 3 months .

If you intent to buy a property for this reason, it would not qualify.Mark

Considering that you had an intent to make it a rental, you will avoid the self-employment tax - which is what the warning that you kept hearing was about.
