"Thanks for the detailed replySo I have 2 good mortgage lenders, a really good contractor based in Jax's but will come down for jobs, PM I will worry about once I find a propertyIts finding the properties that I am having issues with and using an FHA loan for a MF I dont mind doing but in my area the only things under the 775k limit for a quad are in not great areas so I wont want to live there plus the average person there isnt someone I want to rent to/deal with as its truly D or below class  Okay, given what you describe of the market you're in you may want to pivot the strategy to SFH in A-class neighborhoods that are distressed enough to not be overbid by thirsty buyers. 

Wiedenmayer as I mentioned before, I'm not an attorney, but what you described does sound excessive.As a reasonable (non-attorney) person, I would "assume" that, failing to give 3 months notice, you would be responsible for 3 months rent to cover the period you should have given notice for, which could actually be less if the landlord rents it out sooner than 3 months (which, in this rental environment, I honestly think is more likely than not).There's an additional possible wrinkle that if you originally had a lease from - for example - May 2020 through May 2021 and it wasn't properly renewed into a new 1-year lease, that the lease effectively became a month-to-month rental agreement under the same terms - which would mean you actually did give the required legal notice (one full month for a month-to-month tenancy).It's complexities like that which make me think you'd be better served consulting an attorney who can give you advice based on the specific details of your lease/situation.

This is very true and I have to say I agree with your point of view on passing this knowledge onto the kids.

Everything you described adds up to more cost to you...as in cash. 

Lucky for us they let us in to view it a few days earlier than they planned.

I've stayed in a number of STR I would classify two types: 1) a house with full service as in linens minimum 500 thread count, the house has a view or is close to vacation amenities, full service kitchen with full table setting to create a gourmet dinner... these rent starting $200- 2000 a night depending on room count 2) a cabin in the woods where I can get away from wifi and be in nature with comfortable bedding and modest kitchen these rent from $80 -100.

You need to finish the space to be very nice, creative finishes, get pro photos, and accurately describe the space, the neighborhood, etc. 

It had great views and was everything we ever wanted.
