Definitely be careful, as most nationwide brokers will incorrectly rate you for traditional property management insurance, which almost always applies to LTRs and specifically excludes STRs in the fine print. 

@Mo Nueman what specifically do you need boots on the ground for?

Seller financing, lease options, or partnerships are alternative routes that might be suitable for your specific circumstances.Establish relationships with local real estate professionals such as agents, lenders, and contractors.

Feel free to message me with any specific questions. 

It is possible to do the FHA loan in FL since it would meet the distance criteria, the DTI on existing property would be a possibility but there is always options that do not unfold until all the information is gathered. 

I couldn't find a specific answer for my scenario anywhere. 

Is your DSCR ratio greater than 1-meaning are you cash flowing (according to the lender's criteria of mortgage, property taxes and insurance (and HOA) if applicable).

Those plans are specifically for your site, but I guess the worst that can happen is they copy your ideas for the floorplans, elevations, etc, but I think most GC's are too busy for all that.

They can provide insights into tax implications, specific filing requirements, and potential deductions.General advice?
