My research
There are costs associated with renting.
Extra utilities
Cable and Internet
Property manager 20% (If you are not available)
Florida tourism tax 10%
Normal wear and tear
Addition insurance costs due to extra liability.
I looked at doing it but I wanted to use my property Feb and March which you must rent in order to get top dollar or even be able to rent at all. I couldn’t justify the addition cost and work so decided not to rent. In the end it was a good choice for me and I came down to Florida much more often then I originally planned.
Good luck on your research.
