New investor looking to do an STR house hack in Tampa

[Jarett Cestaro]

Hi everyone-

My name is Jarett and I'm a new real estate investor living in New York and planning to move to Tampa in May. I'm ultimately interested in acquiring properties using creative financing and turning them into short-term rentals (in Tampa and beyond) but think it would be best to start by house hacking a small multi-family property and operating STRs out of the other units. 

If anyone has experience operating STRs in this market I would love to connect and potentially partner on something, or recommendations on an agent that could help me find a property for this use-case I'm all ears!
