No report guarantees safety.

Appreciate any insights relative to safety, crime, schools, family friendly, etc. thank you BP team. 

If you've got a large safety net, or this isn't your first REI project, you could be just fine. 

I have discussed this with my contractor and he says that to go over it with vinyl is the best thing (the sellers have just painted it but it is crumbling in several areas) and that he has to wear a full respirator setup like he would for lead based paint abatement or other hazardous materials but just screwing into it doesn’t disturb it so much that it is too much of a problem.

Assuming a building footprint of up to 5000 sq ft, use could not support the need for a lot of parking (probably <20 spaces).Not interested in auto maintenance and other uses that require disposal (and potential runoff/dumping) of large volume of hazardous materials.Long term, I'd prefer something that contributes to the improvement of this area (e.g. a used car lot might be OK for a couple of years just to generate income, but I'd want to find something more beneficial after that).

You are aware of the hazards of getting involved in S8 housing as a landlord, right?

FHA is tough on a few things like "Chipped paint" any signs of chipped paint will stop financing and need to be addressed (Painted), Loose or missing hand railings, Water damage, Mold, Termites, Outdated electrical or any wiring that is exposed.FHA will also stop you dead in your tracks if the appraisal shows anything that is considered a "hazard or safety issue" and must be fixed.

Tampa and Orlando are both very strong demand and price, but provide some safety with appreciation and Florida overall being sought after.I can recommend an agent for you to utilize in Tampa or if you are interested in Orlando, let me know.

This isn't just about keeping things organized; it's your safety net if things escalate legally.Legal Grounds Check: It's wise to touch base with a legal expert familiar with your local landlord-tenant laws.

That’s a great safety measure for sure!
