Hello        I am gong to wade, at least for this summer, into the vacation rental world using my duplex. 

I feel we are lucky to be in the vacation state and that we are central (Tampa, Orlando) which gives us an advantage. 

Our agents drew a new contract....and neglected to mark the box saying we'd need 3-5 days after close of escrow to vacate.

Source: Santa Cruz County District Attorney's Office: Tenants Rights in Foreclosed Properties "Under California Civil Code Section 1950.5, a successor owner is jointly liable with the former owner to retun the deposits once the tenant vacates."

Interesting story while me and my wife were in Carmel for vacation we took an Uber and got to talking with the driver about real estate investing and found out he was an agent in that area.

I am interested in long term and vacation rentals.

My husband and I are looking to move to the Orlando area and house hack a vacation rental to start investing down there...

I am thinking about buy a vacation rental and I am wondering if anyone has had any success with vacation rentals.  

You can even make closing contingent on the renter vacating a unit.

So that's why I don't want to buy right now, but I'm also going away for most of January on vacation, so don't want to be managing a rehab.
