Would love to speak more on this regarding the market, where I think things are heading, and some deals that might match up with your criteria/goals.Just shot you a friend request!

There are a lot of site-specific issues you need to investigate before deciding what the land is worth to you.

@David Lewis if you wanna chat rental rates and market specifics in some of the micro markets mentioned above I'm happy to.

Is your DSCR ratio greater than 1-meaning are you cash flowing (according to the lender's criteria of mortgage, property taxes and insurance (and HOA) if applicable).

I am just starting out with a STR and found that VRBO is not very specific if they are collecting the tax and paying it to the State as a marketplace facilitator or am I responsible for this tax collection and payment ?

You need to provide a bit more specifics about the property, about the insights you want, etc.  

The tax advantages of buying/holding gas stations are pretty great.Many of the components of gas stations including pumps, tanks, external parking areas, and other equipment are classified as either 5 or 15 year property so you can bonus depreciate a lot of it (minus the land value) and get significant deductions in year 1.With the 2025 bonus depreciation rate at 40%, a $1 million gas station acquisition could still lead to $100K+ in year 1 deductions depending on the specifics of your deal.

There's only a handful of these in the Bonita market that meet the ideal criteria for your strategy, but they're much more prevalent in Fort Myers.

Would you share 3 specific things I should do during my "training period" (if it includes a book, which one)?

@Aishan Gonaduwage what specifically have you read, and how OLD was it, about Detroit being on the decline?
