There is some view at 2 of them, no view at one of them, but the view is not enough to even put in the listings that they have great views.The electrical bill will be much higher.

Dormered one side of the upstairs and added a full bath, new floors, HVAC (no AC originally), pool liner, landscaping, bathrooms, kitchen, flooring, roof, windows, siding, water heater, lighting, garage door, 200 amp service, moved electric service and everything else that went along with the above.

Old boilers, roofs, electric panels and clay/lead water lines show up fast.

Things they did bad which I wish I had asked more information about:Never involved in the screening of tenantsThey recommended keys for cash by waiving the rent amount buy only collecting fees which they would get not meThe cost to evict is 750-950 yet other companies told me they will include eviction in the priceThe tenant didnt pay in full last month and I was the one calling out to them and asking questions then a few days later I get an email saying something happened with the tenant and they are investigating.You get passed from person to person every week or so.No one told me when the construction was complete and so the house was ready for a week and the post to zillow and other sites was not done.It took them another week to take pictures and then another week to upload it.I was paying 200 dollar a month electric bills while the house was vacant because they left the AC running in the empty property.

Specifically verify: plumbing (polybutylene pipes were common in 1970s Florida homes and are insurance nightmares), electrical panel and wiring (aluminum wiring, undersized panels, or Federal Pacific panels are common flip shortcuts), foundation and slab (Florida soil settlement issues), windows and doors (proper hurricane ratings and permits), and drainage/grading around the property (Florida flooding is serious).

Around $200 for waste removal and $40-75 for electricity for the well per month.

Say it’s 2 times in income:Income: 2,000Rent: $1,000Gas Heat, Electricity, $300 Food, $400Car Payment and insurance $500 Then I see how I’m the last to get paid. 

I especially want the previous owners to have recently paid for my roof, HVAC, electrical etc, plumbing.4) the current market is mega-rough, and IMO getting rougher.

Being a landlord is often a wake-up call, you might find out quickly it’s not for you, or you might catch the real estate bug like many of us did and will end up finding your next deal sooner than later.The big advantage of renting out your primary first is that you get hands-on experience managing a rental before putting a lot of money into another property.

I asked for different opinions and one person said it's not electrical or plumbing work and it would probably be ok to have an unlicensed contractor put up a new fence.
