Wood would be a bit cheaper but it should have a vapor barrier over it before the stucco is applied, unlike block.If you ever need to run additional wires, cables, plumbing, etc., it's nice to have wood walls rather than block.There are plenty of wood frame homes down here.  

Roofs, gutters, exterior paint, caulking (inside and outside), waste line inspections and/or cabling or jetting, interior plumbing and electrical inspections, HVAC service, and any inspect/service any unique elements you might have.

I think you might be surprised at the demand you could generate if you updated (as needed) electric, plumbing, cable/phone, HVAC, etc.

For the STR, I get the electric, cable, tax, trash, water, and pool bills.Please do a simple search in the area for vacation rentals and see who pops up that is managing that for that specific area.  

The cable alone to run from the breaker box to the oven is enough to drop your jaw.

Should I share my internet and cable with the back unit?

$267/Month - Taxes (based on Osceola website)$245/Month - Insurance (based on Zillow listing in Regal Oaks)$145/Month - Cable/Internet (based moneysavingpro.com)$117/Month - Repairs ($1/sq. ft. for Zillow listing in Regal Oaks)$180/Month - Capital Expenditures (best guess)$400/Month - Utilities (10% of anticipated monthly rent)$475/Month - HOA (based on Zillow listing in Regal Oaks)

But it starts with baby steps.For me, it was: cancelling the cable, stop eating out, go on dates that didn’t involve money, cancelling the monthly subscriptions/memberships, working out at home, make coffee at home, quitting cigarettes, etc.
