For any Investor Experts out there, I can also help with property analysis/renovations to bring some value to the table.Thanks for taking the time to read this post and looking forward to talking with you.

Has anyone else had issues with Zillow suddenly taking down a rental listing?

Yes it is street legal but the owner lives in NJ and it will have to be registered and insured in FL so it is a headache I don't think we would have done it without the vendor servicing it, taking calls 24/7, and handling insurance.

That increases my monthly cash flow and it boosts the value of the property to increase my equity.The downside is that it can take a lot of work, time, money, and patience. 

Since it's not your property yet you can get in contact with them and just ask the questions you have such as how much clearance is required and perhaps you can take a picture or two of the power line and the lot to see if that's something they can relocate.Good luck.

There are several good PM companies in town but Mid South doesn't take on other properties. 

Thank you.How long does the STR permit usually take?

However, it does tie up your cash all at once, and can take some time to save up that cash before getting started.

The contractor has stopped taking any of my calls or the calls from my neighbors who also invested money with him.

If its on the same parcel still as the main property it would be appraised alongside with the home - typically not taking full credit for rental income but more of additional square feet/space to the property.
