Christina, how long ago did you buy in Key West? How is the cash flow? We were thinking about looking there because we live it but it seems very expensive.
cash flow is great here. The rental vacation market was already basically year round, with a few down months (July, Aug. Sep) but still those months aren’t dead. And even then we have events that attract major crowds such as mini lobster season the last week of July. Shortly after is the biggest event of the year, Fantasy Fest which draws tens of thousands, immediacy after that is power boat races, which bring many rich folk, then Christmas, the iconic New Year’s Eve celebration, winter (sooo many snowbirds), spring break is always insane, singers songwriters fest, mile 0 fest and the list goes on. I just submitted an offer tonight on an vacation rental investment (fingers crossed!) because it’s a great market that is year round. There are some funky things here with transient licenses, rental management fees etc, but it’s only some places. I have a great grasp on the different communities here and requirements, feel free to reach out if you want to chat.
