With a Hosting-Partner, they have a set basis rent every month, so yeah, pressure is on.

The current interest rates are certainly putting pressure on cash flow for financed deals, this is seen both on the hard money loan costs and on the back end for the long term financing.

Decided we'd pull the trigger and buy the home, we spent about 1 month and half weeks renovating (40k in total).We listed July 2nd and got our first booking July 3rd here our final numbers for July Gross Revenue - 6.45k ( including cleaning fees )Florida Power & Light - $200Water Bill - $400 ( high because we did a lot of pressure washing and watering dead sections of grass )Cleanings - $249 ( I decided to take on the cleanings after 2nd rental )A/C malfunction - $749 ( during renovations we didn't change the filter enough and to much dust got inside )Mortgage - $3,600 ( 9.35% interest + taxes and insurance with a 3yr pre penalty fee ) Net income - $1252Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated wether it be upgrades, photo selection, finance or you just hate it over all let me know!

Inflation in tenant build-out costs during the past several years has also added pressure to lease economics.

They continued to pressure me until I closed the door.I have a raised foundation apartment and the original floor heater has been removed, so essentially I have a big hole in my floor with a grate and some black paper under it.

Not sure I'd want that pressure of making a hasty decision to purchase a less-than-decent property just to avoid cap gains. 

remodeled 1 bathroom, and planning to add a roof mounted solar assembly to completely eliminate our electrical costs What was the outcome?

The ones that had high grade pressure sensitive adhesive have held up great.

I'm thinking of investing in the Rocky Mount, NC area.

They dont pressure you to buy more loans like Kondaur and Granite used to do.
