Quote from @Zalman Schurder: Hey guys,I am closing on my first fix and flip in Tamarac Florida.I am renovating the entire home, adding a full bath, new floors, a new kitchen etc.Where can I find ideas for current designs, colors, flooring, paint, and kitchen layout.Any general advice of what to do or steer clear of?

The struggle comes when you plan to sell, pay close attention to how the bank would treat the loan in the event you would sell.Even though its a bit more work, banks are typically open to these loans as it provides them with additional collateral in the event of default.  

The home was clean and in great condition.

To OP, it's not as scary as you think it is, this will be your first home purchase, you can purchase a multi family or SFR and house hack.

Typically, most cities allow for 30 day minimum rentals.

Blankets and quilts people might dry but not wash in your machine (take them somewhere and think they are dry and have to throw them in again when they get home). 

Welcome @Andrae S WigginsThere are REI opportunities in different markets - markets in the Midwest and Southeast of the country are great - where not only are the purchase prices reasonable for most RE investors, but the homes are turnkey (new builds or completely rehabbed homes, tenant ready, systems 10 years of life remaining on them, property management teams in place) with appreciating home value AND appreciating rent. 

Quote from @Luisa Morejon: Hi everyone,My husband and I will be downsizing from our primary home into a townhome that we own as an investment property currently.

Condos don't appreciate at the same rate as single family homes, and you are always a newly elected board away from STRs getting banned in your building. 

Quote from @Adam York: Contact your insurance provider and let them know you intend to rent out the home.
