@Heidi Braunhardt Great rehab! How much cash did you use to rehab the property?

@Donya Mattis I would look for someone that specializes in STR's that can help you determine an area in S. FL for your STR. Tamarac is far out there and people that vacation tend to want to stay closer to the beach or entertainment.

@Joseph Umberto The first property I bought was a triplex through an owner occupied loan. It was a lot of work, rehabbing all three units, and managing the tenants. The cash flow for this building was decent. The 2nd property I acquired in WPB was a STR, and the cash flow for this was about 2-3x more depending on the month, if you get a good PM this will offset the difference in time you would spend managing a LTR compared to a STR. Still allowing yourself to make more cash with a STR.

@Richard Mcatee Congrats on making the decision to make the jump that's the hardest part. I have experience in STR space with my properties being located in WPB, if I can answer any questions for you please feel free to send me a PM.

Hi @Peter G. from my understanding if you are "co-hosting" you do not need a RE license.
