Hi @Matthew Hunter, I've actually worked with several real estate investors all over Florida. Need to be careful, some areas, like City of St. Petersburg do have some restrictions on what you can do as far as STR, but its not entirely impossible. Happy to help any way I can, please do not hesitate to reach out.

Patrick Smith, Esq - (352) 204-0305 (Offices are in Clermont, but he has an office in Largo and lives in Pinellas County )

Jacob Inkelaar - 813-535-5574

I have known Chris and Patrick for 20 years, and two of the smartest legal minds I know. Jacob and I went to law school together, very smart and he's aggressive.

My understanding is that the local ordinances are for 30 day or more rentals to avoid transients. I know someone who has a few AirBnB properties in St. Pete. He explained it to me that all his listings “recommend” 30+ rental periods, but ultimately he can’t control how long people stay. So long as you are listing the property and recommending the 30+ days, you are in compliance. He said he’d received complaints before, showed the listing to the City of St. Pete and because he has the recommended stay, he is in compliance and he’s never had to pay a single fine.

Hi there! Best answer to your question, is going to depend on your strategy and goals. Wholesaling, flipping, long term rentals, short term rentals... lots of options. I’m a local investor, realtor, and represent a national title agency. Send me a message and let’s get together to discuss your goals.

@Eric McAvoy

Hi Eric! The greater Tampa Bay Area is a fantastic place to live and invest. Plenty of opportunities. Everyone here is very correct that City of St. Pete is not super friendly to AirBnb and other STR. That being said, there are ways to still run your AirBnb and still be compliant with code. Feel free to reach out and we can discuss.

Additionally, if you don't want to take the chance, Gulfport is STR friendly and has plenty of great locations close by.

I am an investor, realtor, and rep for a title agency, so I have plenty of insight on the area. Feel free to reach out with any questions. Would love to help any way that I can.

Hi there! I found using hard money gave me the opportunity to get started investing sooner than I would have without it, so for me it was worth it. I work with a fantastic lender who works well with his consistent clients. Feel free to reach out for more details. Obviously, you stand to make more with cash. But getting started, just take your loan costs into account, and negotiate your deals accordingly.

Good Morning! I’m in Tampa.

Hillsborough and Pinellas are hot spots, great opportunities, but there’s lots of competition.
