Sarasota, FL Investor

Good morning!  I recently located to Sarasota, Florida from Iowa and am looking to invest in single family homes to buy and hold.  I have 11 properties, one short term and 10 long term rentals.  At this point I am looking to do medium or long term rentals.  I got started with RE investing in 2012 as a way to quit my 9-5 job.  

I am currently looking to buy my first mid term rental in Sarasota, FL.  If anyone has any leads for off market move in ready properties or on market with sellers that are motivated, please send me a DM.

    Kate, Just be aware of the short term rental restrictions in Sarasota County. They are more strict than either Manatee or Charlotte Counties. The city of Sarasota does allow rentals with 1 week minimum, the rest of Sarasota County is 1 month minimum... with a few exceptions. Just be careful if you're looking for something in Sarasota that allows rentals shorter than those periods. Best of luck!
