STR in Tampa bay area financial feasibility analysis

[Lana Klimt]

Looking for insight regarding short term rentals in the Tampa bay area close to the beach or SFH/condos within 10-15 minutes drive. It seems that most vacation condos close to the beach are overpriced currently and barely break even considering purchase price and booking rates you can charge and competition from the hotels.

Wonder if I should consider other locations or am I missing some creative solutions.
