If they have an occupancy of 9, is the nightly rate high enough that it would make sense? 

I highly recommend.  

The other factor that's relevant for me is that my husband is a high end W-2 wage earner and we could greatly benefit from the potential tax benefits of actively managing the property. 

@Eric L ConryThis is a highly personal choice.

I was able to fund a brrrr deal using 0% interest rate business credit cards ($95k across different cards), I didn't have to deal with lenders and their high interest rates or their draw request process to access renovation funds.

For a first-lien HELOC on a 2-unit rental property, I highly recommend reaching out to Taylor Adams at A&N Mortgage.

Hi Melanie, I both own and manage in the area and to be honest, the market in Kissimmee/Davenport is tough right now unless you're willing to invest a lot of capital into high end theming. 

I'm just getting my hands on real estate investing, I know it's not a good time with high interest rates 🤦🏻‍♀️but I'm looking to get something by this year.

The high end is the 20 or so co ops on 5th Avenue or Park Ave (one is on East End Avenue) that require liquid assets of $100 million + to gain board approval.  

I am in Florida and we have a strong STR market and most of my buyers bought at high rates and using AirDNA we were pretty spot on for the numbers and we were successful in being profitable.
