Those properties will sit on the market for months and then wind up being occupied with a less than desirable tenant. 

Cap rate is a measure of how desirable the properties are in certain markets.- Just within this thread, there are at least two posters saying "higher cap rate = higher risk".

IMO, these are more desirable as a long-term investment because you're not beholden to an HOA, and if you buy right, I think you'll realize better cash flow.I live and invest here and would happy to answer any other questions if I can be of assistance.

Just to give you some areas to look into: the Wekiva and Sweetwater neighborhoods, Bear lake Rd area, and Country Creek neighborhood (1000+ homes) are all in highly desirable school districts.

Buy in a desireable area and it will be easy to rent out rooms.

You need a non-licensee.Anyway, I appreciate your desire to sell on your own but it takes much more than desire. 

“Every result that you desire […] is preceded by a process that is required to produce the result.

I would definitely agree with you that self-managing is a great option for some owners, but does require an investor to understand their own skill set and align it with their desires for their asset performance appropriately (If max ROI is desired, do they have the skillset necessary to produce top revenue numbers, etc.?).

It's in Tampa near the water so I just figured it could fit the more high-end, modern look that is desired there than the old school low ceilings.

I lived in Colorado Springs for 4 years and never did more than drive past Pueblo so I can't speak to much to the quality/desirability of living there, but either way, if the numbers work - you can't go wrong.
