Hey friends,

Could you please share your thoughts on investing in my first STR located in Davenport, FL?

Thanks!

@Israel Mendiola You are getting some mixed signals here. I live here and work in this area and have sold dozens of STR in Davenport/Kissimmee. You do need to be in the right community if you are looking for strictly cash flow. If you plan to use it yourself, use it as a write-off or something else, you'll have more options.

There are resort communities like Championsgate, Windsor Island, Solara and several other top tier resort style communities that are literally built to be STR without fear of the HOA or city retaliating against you like is happening all over. You can go outside of these or pick a lessor amenitized or 'regular' community, but the numbers will likely not pan out.

Happy to dive a little deeper on this if you like, there are a lot of nuances to understand about this market compared to others. Just PM me.

Best of luck.
