You should be charging more rent. 

Have you gotten any other applications from tenants that did see the property? 

in Florida getting applications through Zillow without viewings aren't unusual as the supply is tight.  You have to move very quickly to snag a contract here. Get copies of driver's licenses,  you can do facetime and confirm they are the person in photo ID or license, credit, background, eviction checks,  call their new employer to confirm employment,  get copy of employment contract, confirm they saw the photos of property on line and wil accept as is.   Assuming  the state where you live has no restrictions on these things.

Thanks Nathan.  Do you stick with white?

Getting ready to paint and would like to know if anyone has found the best sheen as in flat eggshell satin for the living areas, living room, bedrooms and the best color white, light Gray for example that would be a quick touch up later on with a roller in between tenants.

Yes, especially now that rents are up about 40% best to assess damage before it gets worse, fix it snd get much more rent.   My last tenant was just in there 2 years and she left the place in bad shape.  Places where water can do damage, Both bathrooms.  

I believe you will be grandfathered in because there was no such restriction prior to your purchase. Check with your HOA. If they don't say you are grandfathered in, have your attorney write a letter.

As you said, you will be grandfathered in and should not be effected by the 10% limit.   There will be a vote and you can be assured that the new restrictions will take effect for any new buyers in that development.  It just happened to  community i own in south Florida.  It happens regularly here.   In addition,  they usually include rules like you must own 1 year or sometimes 2 yrs before you can lease it out.  The owner occupants are more numerous so they prevail over the investors regularly.

Tell them you are starting the eviction process but if they find new employment you will stop it once they give you the rent snd copy/proof of their new stub. There are more jobs than people that want to work out there.  What did they do for a living? What City? ( Verify the job if they get one.) 

If they both had jobs before it should be simple for at least one of them to get employed right away.

Maybe you should see is Petscreening.com has an answer for you. They may be familiar with a situation like this.
