Hi,

Newbie here. So take this with a grain of salt!

I'm also looking hard in the Orlando area. I just have to add- if you choose that Storey Lake property, it is going to need a lot more cash thrown at it to bring it up to par. While it is a beautiful property, that is simply not enough to compete in that market. You'll need to decorate it with some great themes to stay in the competition. A great realtor in the area can help you, too. If you go with Orlando, I highly recommend @Shawn McCormick.

Good luck! Storey Lake is one of my faves, too.

My husband and I are looking to get our first STR soon. We've been thinking about different items we want to offer our guests, including baby items like highchairs, portable cribs, etc. (Our target guests are families with young children travelling together.) Multiple young families could mean multiple babies needing a place to sleep, so...

Has anyone offered TWO of each baby item? Would this.....

A- increase our bookings

B- increase our chance of having 1 of the 2 items stolen

Help settle the debate! Thanks!

Hi,

I've searched through some older posts about this, but thought I'd see what current recommendations you guys might have. I'm looking at my first investment property and want to keep it as headache-free as possible while getting my feet wet as an investor. Is there anyone you recommend in Kississimee, Florida? I'll be an out of state investor. 

Thank you
