Maybe partner with someone on the first go-round. 

Of all the Social Media I do I would say I get the most business from YouTube followed by Bigger Pockets then Facebook with IG rounding out the top 4.

(these are just easy round numbers)Also, check with your city/township or whoever you have to go to in FL to make sure you’re allowed to add the square footage.  

Initially the profit was not that much higher on the STR than if it were a LTR and we had periods (including the Great Recession) were we converted back to LTR during the school year and only STR during the summer.Today the STRs are virtually 100% occupied year round and bring in significantly more than they would as LTRs. 

Some markets have year round nightly demand, however in some markets having 3-4 monthly reservations that give the property an 85% annual occupancy could be a lot less work, a lot less wear on the property and at the end of the year could be more profitable if you know how to connect with the right business traveler.

They pretty much all stay booked year 'round there if they are in the right location.

I plan to attend a conference (business related) that is 2800 miles round trip.

As a general rule if it's a thriving and growing school there will be demand for housing but it's a very different business model especially for undergrad vs grad students and year round.

I'm just now starting to save money and put it away for my down-payments.Now that you understand this, I really want to hit the round running with my REI career consisting of multi-family rental properties. 

Almost always will be a best and final round.
