I guess this is a very open ended question just trying to make their lives a but easier when working with them. 

While reviewing the landlord registration forms, I saw a remark stating that if the property owner does not live in the same county as the property location, the owner must choose an in-county representative to receive official documentation on their behalf.

In theory we could buy a house with him and rent it for ten years and break even, pay the debt down, build credit, and later maybe he lives there.

In fact, I just got done with one in FL 2 weeks ago and put it live on Airbnb over the weekend.

The home was built with 7 bedrooms but they called them "Living Room" and "Lunch Room" despite obviously being bedrooms.

It kinda reminds me of a town in Ohio where I live, but it seems like a lot more available, affordable cool houses with character!

I live in CA and we are investing in Florida. 

We also live in the basement of this (split into an up/down duplex 11/2022.

As an agent who lives in Merritt Island and appreciates the German Pub in Cocoa Village, I agree with everything you have written.

They didn’t own or live in the house (in most cases) so they wouldn’t have knowledge of issues unless the seller disclosed them.
