Your situation fits the bill.

It looks like two small round covers that usually cover above ground pools will fit perfect.

For the past 10 years your neighbor has a clothes line with a washer and dryer in the front lawn too.

@Bill Plymouth I understand wanting to take the business when you’re just getting started but every deal should be the right fit for both the realtor and seller.

I looked at Glassdoor company reviews to understand company culture and find an place to work that was a good fit.

You can make minor adjustments based on the type of appliances (dishwasher, clothes washer and dryer, air conditioning, etc.) and the size of the rental.

From my experience owning AirBnbs, I'm not sure it fits as a solution to covering carrying costs unless you're planning on selling it as a turnkey AirBnb.

We’re looking for a few real estate agents in Fort Lauderdale to fill a couple openings, so if you’re an agent I’d love to talk with you to see if you’d be a fit to start working with the investor leads generated by Biggerpockets.I was an agent in the program in Nashville for a little over a year, received over 350 leads which resulted in over $200k in commissions.

Paying a couple bucks more per month now might be better than buying a house that doesn't fit your criteria. 

What are your goals are for the next few years and how do the two plans fit into them?
