CW Houses in the 25K to 75K range are usually in areas that do not work as vacation rentals. There is a reason they are priced that way. Usually this are drug areas etc. 

Also, only very few houses qualify as vacation rentals. It is a zoning issue. It might for for a while, but the City monitors these websites.

@Tim Kaminski Some are grandfathered in. 

Be careful. Clearwater is very strict on zoning. Only very few properties qualify.

I know your property, I have a few in that area.

I don't think there is much room to increase rent. If you go over market, you start getting strange tenants. 

Do you know a good Builders Risk Insurance that will insure a flip property for 4-6 month?

We are located in FL. 

We have worked with Zurich in the past, but then they wanted a GC even for work that does not require a GC (like an AC changeout).

Thanks

Do you live in it or is it an investment?

I would sell the townhouse and buy something that works better for the rental business. 

Hi. I live in Clearwater, too. While a pool cage is a good idea, it will not pay off. It will not increase the sales price by 15k.

 Be careful if zoning allows that, Clearwater is very strict on vacation rentals.

Is it an online auction?
