My reason for this is because, I am based in New York for the time being.

I tried to use the Home Depot apps camera feature that allows you to take a picture and it’ll search for a similar (or exact) product based on that but, it was a dead end lol

Here are some guidelines of when you should hire a PM based on units, location, and education.I began my journey by house hacking and then began buying SFH to rent while at the same time I was working a full-time job.

Choose,It's good to have a general guideline to start with, but as you gain experience in a particular market you need to adjust your numbers based on experience.

Prior to the pandemic, Florida’s price appreciation was fairly modest (as measured by the median listing price, which is far from perfect).

It is helpful that the base of the decision comes from how good of a deal it is - also forcing me to stick to my numbers and make sure it is a good deal before pulling the trigger.

What is your exit strategy... pay me in cash based on rents or other income?  

Kicking off your BRRRR journey is an exciting step, and it sounds like you've got a solid base with your current rental.

If I do the work unpermitted by a licensed contractor, is it illegal to advertise it based on the added bedrooms?

This makes perfect sense.
