There is not as high a demand for travel nurse accommodations as there was during Covid. You can go here to see what the demand is in your area:

PS: In my experience, all travel nurses are a little crazy AND they have a dog. (Nine years STR/MTR experience talking here.)

Join NextDoor.com or if you have an Airbnb listing (not sure if you are looking for STR, LTR, or yourself personally), you can join the local host groups and get local recs.

Quote from @Nicole Heasley Beitenman:

As a renter, a cleaning fee never bothered me. But I used AirBnb for the first time this summer, and what did bother me was that AirBnB would advertise a unit at, say, $250 a night, and it wasn't until you went to check out that they disclosed the ACTUAL cost of the unit. I was so mad, I won't use AirBnb again. I'll find the unit and contact the host offsite.

Maybe you don't understand how the algorithms work. The ADR is an average, not a current nightly rate. And contacting the host off-platform isn't a guarantee your rates will be different.

I cover the Emerald and Forgotten Coasts (basically the Panhandle), and I can tell you we have VERY FEW multifamily properties here. Almost none.

How is the market in the Orlando area for short term rentals and multifamily?

I'm heading to Bcon and would like to visit some potential properties around the vicinity.

Any reccomendations for agents to reach out too?

Thanks in advance!

My team will have people at BPCON23 who can tell you ALL ABOUT the Orlando market (and others). Stop by our Short Term Shop booth to say hi. I'll be there and can connect you with our Orlando people.

Quote from @Scott Davis:

I’m about to put in an offer on a beach property in Galveston and I have a few questions for the group and would love some feedback based on your experience.

1) What loan product should I look into? Is a DSCR loan something that works for a STR?

2) What type of insurance should I look into? Are there multiple types I should have on the home?

3) Should I buy the home in my LLC or personal name…and why?

4) Other than making sure it pencils out, anything else you feel is important for me to know before offering and finalizing the deal?

Please feel free to answer all or just the ones you feel comfortable answering.

I appreciate your help and assistance.

All of these questions make me think you don't have a Realtor who specializes in STRs, which is unfortunate (if true) as they would be able to guide you to tried and true recommendations. Even if they are NOT an STR specialist, I would reach out to them to see what and who they recommend.

Who is willing to sit with me and let me blister you with STR questions. I am currently in the Rookie boot camp and would like to get some more time with someone who specializes in STR. Thanks in advance and look forward to someone taking the time if any!

Hey, Bo! I've been a panelist on those bootcamps and would be happy to take a call. My calendar link is in my signature line, below.
