STR or LTR in Orlando

[John Saible]

Hi BP, 

I recently moved to the Tampa area and am looking to start investing in the Orlando area as prices are lower than Tampa. I originally started looking at duplexes and other multifamily units but started to realize that there are a lot of investors doing SFH STR in the area. There is a tremendous amount of people moving to the area as well as visiting at all times of the year. It wasn't in my original investment strategy but I am curious as to what other investors think or have experienced by doing STRs in the area. Also, if there are any real estate agents that anyone recommends, that would be greatly appreciated.

John
