It's so refreshing to hear from people who are successful in REI and optimistic about it.

My immediate concern right now is in finding a contractor to do a mild refresh on the property, and I must manage this work from California.

I would give her the option of getting the place refreshed and having $1800 rent or leaving it as is and going to $1600.

It's refreshing to see someone DOING something, when so many others just talk talk talk. 

I am excited about this mental shift and it has been a refreshing way to change the transactional mindset that flipping had become.  

@Jacqueline Peterson Yes, we do have a termination clause, but I need to refresh on exactly which option we are using.

Refreshing to see posts pointing out that if you want any chance of making money in STR in Central Florida you have to do it yourself.Only buy what you can afford with few to no bookings, pay all your own bills, do all your own bookings and find a small team to do your local legwork (Mom and Pop).You'll have a chance then....

So after a few months I'm looking to increase the rents and locking into a 12 lease or find new tenants and refresh the property.

We'll provide refreshments and hors d'oeuvres. 

It is refreshing seeing people on this site being so welcoming and inclusive no matter other members levels of expertise.
