If it was you wouldn't you want to be as sure as possible that you would make money for your effort?

Another thing I focus on is buying 3-4 unit buildings with residential, fixed 30-years loans, so I don't have to worry about interest rates going up and to assure a high cash flow.

Before making any decisions, please check your community documents.There may be other homes in your community operating as airbnb's, but that is no assurance.

Instead, you should focus on ensuring that they are in compliance with the law and that you are accurately reporting your income and deductions.

This can provide an opportunity for shared living/rooming house rentals.It's important to review your local code to ensure compliance.

There are TONS of compliance laws when you buy a primary home that do NOT apply when buying an investment property. 

And I love attorneys even more.Florida Statutes Sections 83.56 and 83.60A Tenant cannot withhold rent from the Landlord without sending notice and allowing the Landlord time to cure the non-compliance, violation, or default of its obligations.

I appreciate the feedback and assurance! 

If that is how you read it, I apologize, I assure you that was not my intent, just a product of writing too quickly and thinking too slowly.

Hiring a PM definitely makes it a lot better than to do the business with no quality assurance.
