@Jay Breitlow That would be great if you could email it to me. Thanks!

Shannon,

I own 3 different STR's in 3 different communities of the Kissimmee/Championsgate/Davenport area. I personally avoid the Storey Lakes, Reunions, Windsors, and those other huge communities...The price-points are becoming too high there.

I invest in the surrounding communities with less amenities and lower HOA's. The return is much better in the surrounding communities, especially if you theme your home correctly....In essence, your home becomes the attraction rather than the community amenities. I have rehabbed all 3 of my homes in-house. If you'd like, I can share my listings and numbers with you so you can get an idea of how they perform :)

Happy Housing,

Matt

Hi Matt,
That would be great. Can you PM me? Thanks, Shannon

@Jason Regan Congratulations! I like Storey Lake. I hope it does well for you. I have read that the homes with themed rooms and a nice game room do better and stand out. Who is your realtor? 

@Shawn McCormick Thanks for the advice! I really appreciate it!

@Raymond J. Rodrigues Thank you! I will look her up. Is she a property manager?

@Jay Breitlow I have been to Reunion and like that neighborhood, but would be interested in other similar neighborhoods. I want single family and a minimum of 5 bedrooms; however, I could go bigger if that is better for a STR. I'm looking in a fairly broad price range for the moment (750k-1.5M). I'm not sure what price range makes the best ROI? I am out of state, so I assumed that I needed a property management company, but it sounds like a lot of people manage their own from a distance? I have not looked at the others you mentioned, but I will take a look. Thanks!
