Advent Health just recently took over Florida Hospital and is in the process of improving service and renovating, so coupled with West Marion and Ocala Regional there is a good demand for doctor's and nurses which UF just keeps pumping out every year :) As for manufacturing, E-One (Fire and Emergency equipment) is still a big player in town, Signature Brands has a presence (Betty Crocker).

They worry too much about their tools, their truck and their health.

It would still be a pain in the neck to have to pursue them for this but at least I have their agreement to this policy if I should ever need to do so.This may not prevent illegal content from being downloaded using your IP address, but it might help if you ever have todealing with an issue, and it may also act as a deterrent if the guest knows they have agreed specifically to our Internet Abuse clause by signing our rental agreement.  . 

Texas property code requires the owner or PM to make repairs that "materially affect the health and safety of the tenant" in a reasonable time (usually 7 days). 

Pivot to sales later if you'd rather be doing that but trying to do both right off the bat will be painful, they ARE different skillsets (I self managed 8 units for a while and now I'm a part time agent). 

As for the unpermitted master bedroom, one of the ADU/JADU regulations states that only codes related to health and safety can be mandated when converting it to a ADU.  

A painful lesson to learn going forward -- but can somebody provide insight into what my options may be?

It won't cash flow very well, if at all, and will be a pain to manage the separate tenants once you move out. 

Im a sub contractor also, so i feel your pain a bit.
