Finding a agent for STR

[Tom Bardin]

My partner and I recently decided to get into STR's. We have been pre approved and have the down payment in hand. We are looking at the gulf coast of Florida and neither of us live there. Is it best to just pick one area and use a local relator or is it better to find a agent who specializes in finding STR and not site specific?

Thanks

Good day Tom,

As an agent who solely focuses on working with STR investors, I would highly recommend zoning in on the specific area of interest and then work towards finding a credible agent in that region. Tracking down an agent that has the knowledge necessary to guide clients properly can be challenging (specifically zoning, regulation, and investment viability), but if you're prepared with some good investor specific questions, you should be able to vet without issue.

Feel free to reach out if you have additional questions that I may be able to assist with.
