STRs need to be viewed from a 365 day lens so if the numbers work well then, you still can be successful.

Did you find any prior knowledge (tenant screening) of pets moving in?

I've been researching and viewing properties throughout the South end area and a little bit on the North end. 

Great view with a hot tub. $215k is the offer that is falling through.It's not something we could self manage.

In my view by doing that and making contact with persons found using the process will result in getting a lot of your questions answered.Have an Excellent 2025,Doug

I use American Tenant Screening and will call them tomorrow.

Hey @Bien Nguyen, so I am not familiar with either area, but I ran the Clearwater Florida tax estimator on a 500k purchase which yielded an estimated $8192.https://www.pcpao.gov/how-do-i/estimate-property-taxesYou can plug in an address a well which should give you a more accurate view.

These platforms typically have billing policies where you pay a per unit fee per month to the software and you get regular updates and support each month.There are a number of low-cost platforms available that are able to offer you a lower price by passing along some of the costs to your tenants (payment processing fees, applications, tenant screening, etc).

It seems like location would be especially critical with pad-split (and similar systems), but I’d love to hear your thoughts on what to watch out for in terms of zoning, safety, or demand.Also, I’ve traditionally rented out units the regular way, so I’m curious how screening tenants works for you with the pad-split (and similar) model.

Also, would you be willing to message me a link to one of your Booking.com listings so I can see the format, etc from a customer point of view?
