Quote from @Shayan Sameer: Hello everyone,Hope you all had a great New Year!

So happy for my investors hopefully the rest of the transaction goes smooth so we can get it all locked in and they will have one more property in their portfolio than they did a few months ago.

@Ben Cochran I hope you have factored STR tax savings into your cashflow and ROI as it can be significant.Leveraging equity to purchase a short-term rental (STR) in Tampa Bay can diversify your portfolio and potentially generate strong cash flow, but it also increases your financial risk.While your properties hold significant equity, adding debt from HELOCs or a DSCR loan could strain your finances if STR performance fluctuates or costs rise.

For those holding hope they will fall and save existing deals, don't hold your breath. 

I hope you are staying safe in this difficult time. 

Readers should seek professional advice.

I would look into any regulations that might require you to have a fence around the pool as well :)Hope that helps.

I hope this helps you land on goals, then you can dive deeper into where.

I haven’t gotten bids yet (build is too far away), but I’m hoping to keep it under $300K by subbing out the work myself.I’m not a huge Dave Ramsey fan, but I do lean toward being conservative and avoiding too much debt.
