Short term rental in Jacksonville urban core (or other similar budget areas)

[Rick Dane]

I'm looking at investing in a short term rental in Jacksonville, my budget is fairly modest though, up to $300k so I'm not looking to do a high-end STR. From using the Airbtics app it seems there are a decent amount of STR's in the Jacksonville urban core, where houses are pretty affordable, and that these have good occupancy rates.

It seems there are a few other parts of Jacksonville with similar budget range and that could be viable, anything near the beach is definitely out of the question with my budget. 

From my research so far, it seems the demand is pretty high in general for STR's, I was also looking at San Antonio but would prefer to be in Florida and Jacksonville is the city in Florida that fits my budget, interested to hear from anyone who may know more about STR's there and to connect with anyone.

One thing about Florida, make sure you know what insurance will costs on a property before making an offer.
