I'm not interested in "professional" renters because this is my home. I don't want the house next to me being moved in and out of constantly and the traffic that goes with the rental. I think that's a pretty human feeling. We want neighbors. Flipping is not my cup of tea either since it usually means making pretty and no substantial repairs to the structure, ie: wiring, roofing, plumbing and so forth. You are probably the exception but most flippers rule of thumb is cheapest effort in to get the biggest bang out. I'd like to see homes sold on their merit and repairs and enhancement completed by the proud new owner. That's my feeling only and doesn't make flipping right or wrong and that's why I stated there are methods for selling those homes too.

If you feel so strongly about "professional" renters, why did you locate in an area that allows rentals for as short as one week at a time? A number of mobile home parks and condo developments in Florida require a three month minimum on rentals.
