If that's the case, your rate of return will more than likely be high as long as the home can cash flow, after property taxes (biggest issue in EP rentals) and all other expenses. 

I also took to the internet and went to the public sites (Zillow, realtor.com etc..) and couldn’t find a picture of the residents nor a selling price.I also found all of them had limited information on the property and listed it differently, meaning one list the place as a 2/1 1900 sqft, another listed a 3 /2 with 1900 sqft and realtor listed it as a 5 / 3 with 1900 sqft.

I'm not your lawyer, so you know, I don't give legal advice, and things I say you should consider stupid internet rumors.The way that statue reads to me is... you can really do whatever you want with it, but if the tenant files a demand for it and you can't product it in the needed time, you'll end up owing them triple the deposit as a penalty, so you should probably make deep considerations on the risk profile, as if you can't produce it quickly, it gets even more expensive, very fast.

I hate to quote other gurus from the internet, but how prepared for doing 50 push ups can you get by reading about doing push ups?
