I've used it checking electrical panels for hotspots, and for locating cooler, damp areas of sheetrock, and checking surface temp prior to painting.

There are currently no restrictions on short term rental in Tampa proper (City of Tampa limits).Yes, condos can be very lucrative, but as a poster mentioned above lots of them have restrictions and if they currently don’t many of their HOA’s are considering it as Tampa is becoming a hot spot for AirBNB travel.

@Jason Collins the Detroit land bank have a lot of options but do your research first and use a team going on find the hot spots in the city there’s a lot of growth Amazon,quicken loans , Daimler C , midtown , etc work with in a mile of the preiameters is a suggestion !!

Also I'm not crazy about the economics of Nova Scotia and Halifax in general right now, which leads me to the US.I feel like a lot of the easy money has been made in the hot spots like Florida & Arizona, and maybe the same is true for Atlanta, but I do like the economics of Atlanta and the price range appears to fit my budget compared to some other places.As always, I appreciate any & all insight & thoughts.

I'm no expert but every person I know that rented Airbnb went to vacation hotspots, tourist areas, bustling cities.
