@David Pierce thanks for the information and lengthy write up.

@Brian Spink Hi Brian, I own a STR in Windsor Hills and am happy to share my experience. I sent you a DM.

@Josiah Sia what market is this in? Additionally, as you will be operating a STR, you will need to consider utility costs as well as sales tax depending on the state/county.

@Brian Dickerson Orlando/ Orange County has strict STR regulations. Osceola county which is just south is the opposite. Areas like Kissimmee generate a lot in taxes from Short term rentals, so from a regulatory standpoint, this is less of a risk.

@Nathan Buck Kissimmee is a good STR market. It's proximity to the Orlando attractions equates to a lot of interest in bookings. The counties make a lot of money from short term rentals via tourism taxes, so compared to other markets there is less regulatory concern. With that being said, there are a number of variables that can impact whether a property will be profitable as a STR.

Are there any Real Estate Investment groups focused on upstate NY markets or more specifically Ulster County that meet downstate? I am located in Queens and while I am in the Kingston area once every other month on the weekend, I would love to connect with those actively involved in that market from down here. Thanks in advance!

@Jake Cohen Looks awesome. Great job. Best of luck!
