Especially, since your unit is near an entry point - where a smoker would hang out.I'd be especially curious as to what the Bylaws state about required proof.

@Mark Cruse I was just laying out all the possible options I can think of on the thread and I would like to see if there was something else I can do to hang on to this property until the pre payment penalty expires in 3 more years, so that I can refinance and actually have some cash flow. 

Come down and hang out with us!

This is just one example of the many ways to make money in RE.Look at vacation rentals to try and make money and have a place to go on vacation but look all around at other RE opportunities to make money and don't put all your eggs in the same basket.  

Auto dealers receive an 85% hang up rate you could ay that's 8 out of 10 which is wasted lead or call.Do not believe the saying there is no bad lead, thats pure BS! 

Regardless of costs, rising or not, all deals hang on whether you have capital available, and the faster the better.Quick funding has always been the go-to method to convince owners to sell to you.

If the neighborhood is safe enough, hang a full size banner over the front window with "Buy this house, rent to own !

Beyond that, adding popular amenities that your competition doesn't have is a low hanging fruit. 

So if you decide to fund the whole thing yourself and put all your eggs in one or a few baskets, there’s a much higher risk that the particular property/properties doesn’t do well.

That’s what legally covers you in Florida.At this point, don’t overthink it — just keep things clean and documented: Hang onto that original envelope — keep it sealed and take a photo showing the certified label and postmark.
