Just some info about us, we both work full time very demanding careers and have families, so time is an issue.

I knew this property would be in high demand.

I paid close to asking, I didn't need to negotiate, it was listed at a great price and I knew this property would be in high demand.

The year round demand with two peaks (ski season and lake / beach season) combined with a lower regulation threat make them pretty good places to own an STR.

We gave a demand for rent & eviction notice about 15 days ago, but they’re already moved out.

In high demand areas, more regulation can actually be a good thing in an STR sense - it means that they've accepted that STR's are going to be a significant part of the area and have established a process for how people can do them legally.

Notes are higher cash flow / less demanding, but are finite (at some point they run out) and their value diminishes over time.

I would rather have quality properties, in good areas, that have good demand and general growth.

Hi James, The demand in FL still remains high for investor buyers due to location and elevated rental rates.
