@Ashley Wilson you do not need to explain or defend yourself.Over the years, I’ve contributed countless pages of valuable content here on BiggerPockets, breaking down in excruciating detail why over 90% of investors struggle to land deals (hint: it’s all about marketing).

To have a successful STR I HIGHLY recommend listening to this episode of a podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/on-the-market/id161508...Once you listen to this, and any highly involved STR operator will agree, you will find a lot of the fundamentals are lacking in Kissimmee or you have to have deep pockets to hit those.I won't spoil the episode, but if you listen to it (and anyone out there that does) feel free to DM me afterward and I'd be happy to talk details tailored to your situation on if you're on the right path or maybe I can help.

I assume something like this is more than you want to tackle for a 1st quadplex (https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/241-W-King...), but what about this SF for a BRRR (https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/2101-Arapa...)?

Are their listings detailed with good-quality photos?

Will follow up to get more details on your idea!

OK... thank you for the detailed response.

Here are some indicators to help you assess a buyer's seriousness:Questions: Serious buyers will ask detailed questions about the property, such as maintenance costs, neighborhood amenities, and property taxesStrong Offer: If a buyer makes a strong offer quickly, it often indicates a high level of interest and intent to purchasePrivate Buyers: If approached by a private buyer, ensure they provide a Letter of Intent (LOI) and proof of funds.  

If you don't mind, could you go into a little more detail?

This way, you can easily revisit details and pick up right where you left off.Avoid cutting corners to save money, as it often costs more in the end.
