We needed to move quickly after our landlord gave us 60 days to vacate because he wanted to move back into his home.

Investor to investor sales don't require a tenant to vacate here. 

July 1 to Aug 15 STR revenue will cover the mortgage for the year provided that we spend that time staying with family and/or on a low-ish budget vacation.I'm not suggesting you move to this forgotten corner of the country, but look at a solid vacation rental market.

But lately it has come to situation where student sign 12 month lease, decide to vacate in the 11th month but property manager doesn't let them without paying for the last month which then students decide to stay through that last month.

If the tenant has vacated, you post a notice of abandonment ASAP.

This list is just one of many data points that can help identify areas.This is a 500 ft view, you still have to drill down into neighborhoods, streets and specific houses that will work well as a STR or Vacation rental (not just an airbnb).I look for higher end vacation rental properties above and beyond what people call airbnb's.A room in someone's house can be an "airbnb" after all.I love the new Vrbo commercial with Nick Saban.

I would also be clear with her that regardless of the her vacating the apartment, if she owes you a balance you are going to pursue collections actions so she won't get away free and clear.

We bought a cabin on a lake that we thought we'd vacation at and run as an AirBNB.   

Should i work with my dad on a property in Miami and if so what type, single family, multi family, short term vacation rentals, or commercial?

I am looking into purchasing my first condo in Destin, FL for short term vacation rentals.
