I been making calls to houses thats been on the market for 60days or more but nothing is working. is there anyone that is currently doing STR in the FL market that can give some tip where would be a good place to start and what I should expect. 

Private, heated pool.  

Whatever you think you're losing on Airbnb through fees, you're likely gaining by having a consistent pool of potential renters.

In our opinion, many OOS investors set themselves up for failure because they don't truly take the time to understand:1) The Class of the NEIGHBORHOOD they are buying in - which is relative to the overall area.2) The Class of the PROPERTY they are buying - which is relative to the overall area.3) The Class of the TENANT POOL the Neighborhood & Property will attract - which is relative to the overall area.4) The Class of the CONTRACTORS that will work on their Property, given the Neighborhood location - which is relative to the overall area.5) The Class of the PROPERTY MANAGEMENT COMPANIES (PMC) that will manage their Property, given the Neighborhood location and the Tenants it will attract - which is relative to the overall area.6) That a Class X NEIGHBORHOOD will have mostly Class X PROPERTIES, which will only attract Class X TENANTS, CONTRACTORS AND PMCs and deliver Class X RESULTS.7) That OOS property Class rankings are often different than the Class ranking of the local market they live.8) Class A is relatively easy to manage, can even be DIY remote managed from another state.

During the time we lived there we made some minor upgrades/repairs- renovated upstairs bathroom, replaced carpet on 1st floor with LVP flooring, added artificial turf to the backyard, replaced pool pump, and replaced the HVAC system.

Any recommendations, tips, or advice would be greatly appreciated!

Any other tips for a new real estate investor?

I'm in Cuxhaven Germany and reaching out to German and European Bigger Pockets members because I'd like to set up a European Bigger Pockets Master Mind group.One of the purposes of the mastermind is to focus on pooling together resources, be it funding, knowledge or expertise, for all the deals this growing group might offer.
