@Ben Cochran I hope you have factored STR tax savings into your cashflow and ROI as it can be significant.Leveraging equity to purchase a short-term rental (STR) in Tampa Bay can diversify your portfolio and potentially generate strong cash flow, but it also increases your financial risk.While your properties hold significant equity, adding debt from HELOCs or a DSCR loan could strain your finances if STR performance fluctuates or costs rise.

DT Long Beach: beachy urban setting with smaller units 1bdr; close to tourist attractions, and thinking I can STR one unit; BUT high crime rate (90 percentile); properties are older but more attractiveIs it better to go into a slightly better neighborhood in boring Riverside or a more crime ridden area of cool kid Long Beach?

There are very few places where you can still get anywhere near the 1% rule, and in Omaha you really don't have to look that hard to find those opportunities in droves.Not to get too into the weeds, but I have a thesis that the Midwest as a whole will begin to outperform the coastal and southernmost cities as time goes on-- primarily driven by increasing COL & decreasing QOL in said coastal urban cities. 

It all comes down to picking the right areas that work well with your personality and attract the type of clientele you feel comfortable working with. 

There are other communities that would have better opportunities to cash flow.Although there is no guarantee of future income on any STR, I believe that 2025/2026 we will see a good increase in travel, mainly due to EPIC opening and the overall attitude of 'the people' coming off of the election.

I’m near the i10 that seems to attract people since that’s the only freeway here. 

It is an opportunity to increase ownership of great companies with great management at good prices."

Your current pictures are dark, it looks like the photographer is standing in the middle of the room taking a picture of the corner, and the angles are not attractive.

The city's economic development initiatives have been attracting businesses and professionals, creating opportunities for real estate investment.
