Florida and Gulf Coast insurance should be a concern. 

Or you want to leave the STR industry? 

I prefer to stay further from the coast and hopefully further from major storm/flooding events (potentially lower insurance costs).  

There are many other sites you can list on if you are going for Insurance Bookings but in my markets or at least for the inventory I have, it hasn't proven to bring many leads. 

The value of the hotel is based off of how well it's being operated.My advice would be to get a job in the hotel industry.

Not only that most of ours we saved within 1 to 3 days of the sale so it was hair on fire getting the reinstatement back to the trustee.. total risk on our part.. give the seller some money we always did.. and then record the deed  WE did our own deeds in house.. buy without title insurance etc etc.  

IE securing them paying tax's insurance etc etc.

Its how the industry is run..

Going back to a W2 is not what I want to do, at least not in my old industry.
