Looking to add some unique features as well, but some of the draws would be a hottub and stocked pond to fish from.

There are many other options as well including some that are included in property management software products.

Hello everyone, we know this post is a few months old now, however we are interested in the Ocala, FL market as well, primarily looking at LTR SFHs in the Silver Spring Shores, Heath Brook, or Marion Oaks neighborhoods.

It has it's own separate entrance as well.

As your a good citizen and known politically you can ask for land to lease.  

Many investors fall into this "do-it-all" trap, believing no one else can handle things as well as they can.

Well said Jennifer!
