While I like the idea of having winter rentals and then possibly Airbnb for the summer months it would be hard to find a tenant for just the winter, and u dont wanna be known as the guy who kicks his tenants out every summer just to make a buck, Ketchikan is a small town after all.You know Ketchikan a lot better than me, but I think your strategy is sound.

If u are single, buying a small sfh for yourself is sufficientand use the rest for investment in apartment complexes with 100-200 doors.Or as someone else suggested, house hack and use rest of money plus rents to buy more real estate.

@Holli Phillips U need to call a local lawyer.

I am not entirely sure that had I been in your shoes I would not have made a U turn toward the exit and kept going.

I’m assuming u mean if they keep up with the facilities?  

thank u so much @Bobby Larsen, its in 32210 zip ..is there a way to see these data points ?

I have clients that have houses in the 19th Ward and i have found tenants (medical residents, doctors, nurses etc that prefer that location due its proximity to the U of R and Strong Hospital).

all title companies suck and are sub-par...I have used 20 different ones all over the country...let me know when u find a good one...with them it's usually "best of the worst"...

how much average do u think investors can pay per booked appointment to see the home ?

A recent census or the chamber of commerce will have this info, but a quick and dirty way of gauging this is to look at the cost of a one-way truck rental from Penske or U-haul.
