We are very familiar with the area and have friends who live in the town, though we'd love to connect with anyone who has any experience or opinions on investing in this market... or experience doing furnished rentals in locations where there are peak seasons and offseasons.

Have you identified seasonality for your region? 

Vacation rentals can generate higher income during peak season, especially in a tourist-friendly are like Venice.

For all my seasoned flippers.

Yes, the spring/summer season sees demand ramp up, but that doesn't mean a house listed in December won't sell.If you buy in October/November, chances are you won't be listing until January, anyways.If I had a house completed on, say, December 15th, I would likely sit on it through the holiday season before taking it to market, but I would talk to realtors.  

Of course, the virtual numbers that the tool spits out have to be validated "the old fashioned way" by confirming the assumptions the tool is making (comps for daily rental, occupancy, vacancy rate, seasonality, etc.) 

Both seasoned and new real estate investors have a powerful tool: the 1031 tax-deferred exchange.

Buildium can accommodate under 50 units and I know companies that use it for 600 units.Appfolio has a 50 unit minimum and it is the biggest player in SFR and small multifamily PM software.

If you are a seasoned professional, you can help teach others.3.

Just want to be able to bring some value to some more seasoned investor who is willing to show me the ropes.
