Quote from @Devin James: We’ve slowly been improving our homes the more we’ve built and the more feedback we get from our Buyers2021 – Added 8ft doors throughout the home2022 – Added a new elevation with stone in the front of the home2023 – NO carpet in the bedrooms, LVP throughout the home2024 – Added hurricane impact windows & new color options2025 – Adding Ceiling FansGotta be open to feedback and adjust accordinglyThis can be the difference of your home sitting on the market for 4 months vs 1 month where's the modifications and pictures?

Hey GaryI manage about 65 units in FL and I broker for STR buyers in this market, and some do self manage.Obviously the ones who choose us for management, we can assist with all of those items, but the ones who self manage do so by building a team. 

SEO is a commitment did your not dedicated to that type of marketing use a basic website.  

It's a good market with year-round demand that peaks in both winter (ski season) and summer (beach / lake / hiking / etc) season. 

These will be markets where housing is affordable for both residents and owners.

Recently, I became a licensed agent specializing in short-term rentals and multifamilies, particularly in vacation markets and Worcester County.I joined BiggerPockets to share insights, learn from others, and connect with investors who want to scale their portfolios.For those who are active on this platform:-What’s the best way to introduce myself and provide value here?

There are plenty of older homes on the market that do not have closets.You need 2 egresses (including 1 that goes outside) such as a door or window, size about 70sqft (local codes may differ), ceilings at least 7ft high, and it cannot be a walk-through passage.As always, your local codes may be different.

All these properties were purchased for under 100k (not possible now, we got lucky with the downswing of the market at that time).

Can you suggest a few good insurance providers that operate in that market?

I'm really looking forward to your blog and hearing about your experiences in these markets.
