We have an STR in Kissimmee, and it is doing very well, but the area IS very competitive. https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/606577680390071886 Key items:--The community with good amenities helps a lot. 

Buying is still competitive as well.

Consider a rent comparison report to ensure competitive pricing.

If you're not overpricing yourself relative to the competition, and the unit is nice (clean, in good shape, etc.), then the only thing left it could be is your marketing.

There is a play in bigger cities though in Infill to sell to builders much bigger dollars and competition.. 

No competition with "off market".

I don't think it will be like 2021, but there will still be more competition.Versus, buying now, rates drop, competition increases and prices go up, and you get to ride it out.

Major issues, numbers just aren’t that good, hiding something and wholesalers aren’t bound by the code of ethics to disclose issues like agents are etc… We also have a competitive off market, market.

Then you could buy now before competition becomes crazy again and refinance when rates come down.

I know my unit is priced competitively and the showings go great, I have gotten great feedback on the property.
