We manage in other states, but the background checks, lease approval, etc. is all done from the home office so the owner/client is involved every step of the way.  

This may result in the tenant having to leave however with no back ground information on the tenant you are safer finding your own tenant than keeping one you may have issues with starting out.Keep in mind finding/replacing tenants is simply part of the responsibilities landlords deal with on a regular bases in the operation of their business.

For a little background on the this I was reading some posts from a local investor Dan O'neil,  on BP and noticed that he mentioned the meeting.

My pre-real estate background was software/high tech too.  

Here is some background.  

Bullet Points for St Petersburg:Short term rentals (anything less than a month) are technically illegal, but...Code enforcement only enforces this on a "by complaint" basis.The City can't change this law in any way (in either direction) without risking losing the ability to regulate short term rentals altogether, so...We have a thriving Air BNB "black market", but it's inherently risky and you should not base your long term cash flow numbers on this model...the smart strategy seems to be get it while you can, but be prepared to quickly shift to a long term rental strategy if you get busted. 

I'm still working on my profile so my apologies for not having much background on there yet. 

Hi @Jeff B. ... with your background you've probably heard that a user can override the CSS style sheets in Firefox and probably in other browsers.https://ffeathers.wordpress.com/2013/03/10/how-to-override-css-stylesheets-in-firefox/If someone were wanting to constantly print from a particular website it might be worth the effort to set up their own user css sheet.

I would also request documentation like leases and the whole tenant file (I would want to see if they pulled credit and background check on tenants).

Before I continue, I would like to give some background about myself.
