Hot STR Markets in Tampa, FL

[Corben Briggs]

Hey all! 

Starting to see some progress with my first deal I did earlier this year on a STR/Airbnb property I purchased in Nashville, TN back in April. Enjoying everything so far but im itching to land another deal in a different market. I know its typically good to find a solid market and take advantage of it while you can however I want a little diversity before I zone in on 1 location to hammer.

One of the top locations I had in mind was Florida specially Tampa area (Saint Petersburg, Palm Harbor, etc.) relatively close to the beach and wanted to see if anyone had any experience doing short term rentals & AirBnbs around there?

I can do the research and run the numbers on AirDNA but curious about any outside things that people ran into or recommend I take into consideration before I start to really get things together there.

Anything helps!
