Brandon Turner had a fun little equation to help people analyze maintenance expenses.

Doing stuff we love outside of work isn't just about fun (although it is definitely fun), it's about giving our brains a break and recharging.🌱 Whether it's painting, hiking, cooking, or playing an instrument, hobbies give us a chance to relax, get creative, and just feel good.🧘‍♀️ And here's the kicker: hobbies are like natural stress-relievers.

You are on the right track but remember each specific STR market / local area is going to have some tweaks - one thing I noted is that for the markets you are looking at can vary with temperatures - some different expenses/planning for areas that can have winters (snow, etc) that wouldn't be standard in other markets

It seems like a great time to buy and rent in cities like Davenport, Winter Haven, Haines City, and many more.

I would check out Citrus County and Holiday its next to the Gulf beaches and a lot of winter/summer attractions.

Winter came and since then the rental unit has flooded every time it’s rained.

When it gets fun is when they don’t pay you back - then the lawsuits start flying

Locking at 70 in the winter and 50 in the summer would be my thoughts if going this route.  

Its not fun for anyone but these appraisers are really hit or miss. 

Sorry, I don't mean to kill your fun, but I'm in Seattle.
