Advice From Successful Brickell Miami RE Investors

[John Merkovsky]

Hey everyone - as the title says, I'm hoping to get some advice from anyone who's been successful renting condos in the Brickell, Miami area. My goal is to purchase this summer to live in short-term and then rent out afterwards, and broadly it seems the numbers are pretty rough. I've got a good grasp of the basic market but have less of an understanding of some particulars of Brickell, incl. long-term expected condo maintenance costs, good rent/purchase ratios, navigating potential new construction (such as that giant complex going up behind the church), and some proposed environmental changes (such as the seawall)

Obviously not looking for answers on everything, just hoping to chat and understand how successful investors are thinking through the short and long term. If anyone is available feel free to DM me anytime

Thanks!
