I have met a few folks recently who are active in that market and I am planning on following up and seeing what their experience has been.

@Stephen FlemingFrom my experience working with over 400 investors, your strategy of leveraging a low mortgage rate, tapping into home equity, and diversifying with a short-term rental (STR) in Northern Michigan is well thought out.

I've completed extensive rehab projects but had never ventured into ground-up construction before this experience, and I can honestly say it was a lot of fun.

If there are any owners on this forum that have any first-hand experience with STRs in the Kissimmee area?

In our experience, the #1 mistake owners make when selecting a Property Management Company (PMC) is ASSUMING instead of CONFIRMING.It's often a case of not doing enough research, as they don't know what they don't know!
