Currently building my single family rental portfolio and just doing my first new construction build to rent.I enjoy all things real estate and would love to help you in anyway possible.

Can we serve them a notice to vacate to avoid risk of possible damage in the future?

We planted edible landscaping/trees around the whole place to attract wildlife and built the house with both front and back decks to sit outside and enjoy it.

Then go ahead and rent the property and enjoy your cash flow.However, understand that renting a property has fewer requirements than for listing the property on the MLS. 

@Jonah Parker my recommendation is to find an actual vacation rental market where the regulations are favorable.

I believe you can buy a vacation property for 10% down.  

We cleaned up our single family property after it was vacated, fixed a few things, had the carpets in bedrooms professionally cleaned, and painted all the interiors.

I would encourage you to only put the minimum down you can tolerate and still be able to enjoy life. 

Purchase price: $350,000 Cash invested: $75,000 Purchased a vacation home two blocks from the Jersey Shore beach, boardwalk and downtown.

Then they think about what it's going to be like in the Summer with the windows open or when they're trying to enjoy a cocktail on the patio.
