Loving the experience im getting and excited to provide a quality home with quality management for a family in jacksonville.

SFRs are generally safer from what I've learned too because you are attracting more higher quality tenets. 

Im hoping I can get enough rental income on the first year to cover all expenses including mortgage, cap ex, repairs, vacancy, and hopefully I can wiggle in management for the convenience of properly screening of quality tenants.

We sourced the deal through our marketing channels, which filters through quality deals, so we knew this would be a great investment.

Are their listings detailed with good quality photos?

They're saving money at your air bnb vs a hotel, and you're definitely getting an extremely high quality "short" term renter.

I used to have a spreadsheet calculation (square feet, beds/baths, a few key amenities, garage, quality of home/location) and it would spit out an estimate, but my head was more accurate so I gave it up.

With the surrounds, I've had one that was installed new and after a couple of years, it had to be reattached....the original one was replaced because it was coming off as well.I think look at the total cost including install, buy a quality one that will last (not the cheapest and not the most expensive) and have it installed properly. 

If I went that route I would probably target newer than 2000s build closer to home bc I think that would increase the quality of my portfolio and vacancy would be lower.
