Florida's Vacancy Rates

[Alex Bekeza]

Hello All,

My partner and I have been starting to analyze some potential BRRRR deals in Florida but I'm having a hard time getting over the fact that most of its major cities are literally in a league of their own in terms of vacancy rates.

Do any active Florida BRRRR or Flip investors have any practical, market specific advice for securing long term tenants/homebuyers?  (1-4 units)

Short Term Rental Investors feel free to weigh in too....... 

We'll be buying all cash and refi out @ 6 mos

Please keep generalized theory about attracting tenants/buyers out of this thread as I'd like to try and keep this thread hyper specific and useful for investors in Miami, Orlando, Jacksonville, and Tampa. 

I've brokered a few loans in the state but they were either 5 + multifamily or beach front rentals that don't really represent what I'm looking for.
