@Martin NestaI don't have much info for you - but I do know the 'nature of the beast' I can share with you... perhaps something will help...Most property tax "just values" in Florida - the value they say your property is worth - are intentionally set about 15-20% below market value.  

For example with heat, the fuel (electric, oil, natural gas, etc) all cost differently. 

Natural gas is widely used in the area and can be brought to the property for roughly 40k.  

., this is also similar to co-working locations where the operator signs a master lease with the building owner and then rents out cubicles to individual customers.It takes a considerable amount of effort and money to adequately furnish a house to make it a decent STR. 

I'm not sure how much of that is going on right now, but I'm sure there are always traveling nurses and doctors coming into this area that need short term housing.A lot, of property management companies will only do a minimum of one year leases, but I think there is good value to be had in the short term rental game, as long as you have a good strategy and a management company that is align with your vision.When I was leasing full-time, I used to get a lot of calls from insurance companies who have clients who's properties have been in a fire or some natural disaster and need short term housing, and they're also willing to pay a lot higher than market rent. 

Heating costs go up in winter, as does electricity due to the reduced natural light and more people indoors.

If you trust the provider and coverage is adequate - take it and run. 

And what we describe will help others not take on investments of a super high risk nature without being able to sustain if the investment is lost.

You'll have to ensure it has adequate air flow with the door closed from the ductwork above and possibly the sprinkler piping which is probably dictated by building coded in your area.

Make sure you have adequate insurance -- everywhere including your autos -- so this never becomes an issue.
