Short Term Rentals Markets in Orlando/Tampa/St Pete area
Hello,
I am an out of state investor looking to get into some STR in the Central Florida area. I know the STR laws are quite diverse across the state. Does anyone have certain markets that are STR investor friendly, that I should focus on? I would appreciate any guidance or recommendations.
Brad

@Bradley Snyder Pinellas County is great since there are so many tourists visiting the beaches but as others have said, the rules can vary depending on the town. There are over 20 different municipalities in Pinellas county alone and they all have different rules in regards to str. Largo and Indian Rocks Beach are the two most friendly, where as Clearwater is the most stringent. I have compiled a list of each municipalities rules. If you have interest in reviewing, shoot me a message all i'll send it over.
